Here at Elswick BAND INSTRUMENT Repair we do not repair string instruments. A luthier makes and/or repairs string instruments. However, I did happen to have an old fiddle lying around the shop. A friend asked if she could have it. Why you ask? Because her daughter and some friends were going to paint it. They wanted to create a little work of art, at the end of the school year, for their orchestra conductor Donald Brubaker. Mr. Brubaker is not only the orchestra conductor at Buford Middle School. He also conducts the Rita M. Evans Orchestra. This is a division of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Youth Orchestras. The Evans Orchestra is primarily comprised of middle school students. I have been fortunate to have done audio recording for the Youth Orchestras for twelve years. I am constantly impressed with Don’s ability to draw the musicality from these middle school students. Congratulations Don!
