My focus as a builder is in modern reinterpretations of historical stringed instruments. In 2017, I worked with the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art to restore the instruments of Gunnar Schonbeck as part of a playable, interactive exhibit. I built replicas of Schonbeck’s “Triangular cellos” for Bennington College, and have taught instrument-building workshops at The Cooper Union, Connecticut College, and the Bennington Museum. I also work as a guitar-family repair technician and restorator, with particular interest in 20th-century banjo-family instruments. I work regularly with Michael Foster, Joey Sullivan, Zosha Warpeha, Sean Ali, Jack Langdon, Stella Silbert, and Chuck Roth, and play in projects including Field Recordings (Sean Ali, Flin Van Hemmen, Carlo Costa, Eivind Opsvik), Michael Foster & strings, Jessica Pavone’s Mandible Trio, and Jersey Star.
