Fiberglass composite material used in Violins
Building any musical instrument by hand is a difficult process. Therefore the achievement of Ken Brown is all the more impressive because as a novice, he made this amazing carbon fiber violin on his own.
Taking him over 10 months, each Sunday Ken made detailed drawings of the violin. His plans were translated into plaster and fiberglass molds. It took him many hours of painstaking work to produce the best sounding violin plates. When he started fabricating the carbon fiber violin plates, Ken tested each revision’s “tap tones” until he go the right sound. Now we can enjoy Ken`s work and the sound of fiberglass composite material!
