Exotic stringed instrument builder in Southern California

Hi folks!

New here! I am located in Southern California, am a specialty/niche musical instrument builder. Although the body of my work involves woodworking in the vein of violin and guitar builders, I have been pursuing composite alternatives for a variety of reasons. Over the last few years I have been casting some parts and, more recently, have been looking to carbon fiber + vacuum infusion processes. I look forward to interacting with you all in the months to come as I immerse myself into this technology!

I currently am set up with some basics (vacuum pump, mold tooling, bagging supplies and am awaiting a few missing ingredients.) More soon!

Cheers!

Sounds cool,

Carbon is definitely a great alternative to wood. I always enjoy seeing some beautiful instruments made from carbon. Do you have any pictures of some of your work?

welcome and I hope you can get some good info here
