Local man crafts 138 violins over 25 years in Cedar Rapids
Lauren Harman, a farm hand turned self taught violin maker at 1025 Eleventh Avenue SE, has built 138 violins in twenty five years. He learned from books and inspection of Stradivari instruments, using simple tools, a piano bench workbench, and a patient craft. He compares his work to the famed Stradivari varnish and believes varnish quality and wood choice greatly influence tone.
