Picture
This is where violins are grown, at least the part of the violin that is spruce.  This photo was taken at a farmer's market in Valemount, B.C.  The 2 people on the left and the one on the right are members of the Carson family who supply top quality spruce tonewood.  The guitar player is a guitar maker, Rick McCallum of Montana Guitar Shop.  There I am in the middle.  Gordon's playing a 5 string viola made with his tonewood.  My violin is also made with Gordon's  tonewood.

In addition to playing on several occasions with wonderful musicians, I managed to bring home enough spruce to make violins and cellos for 5+ years.
