Carbon Craftworks Violins
Share
Carbon Craftworks is about creating traditionally styled instruments in Carbon Fiber. No one was making a violin in a traditional shape.
I got the idea of making violins from carbon fiber when looking at a wood kit violin in a catalog. The parts seemed straight forward from a molding perspective and since I was working for a company making composite parts I thought I would give it a shot. I did a little research and found that most of what was available were violin-shaped-objects. So I took on that challenge and discovered how hard it was to mold complex shapes that have negative draft and under-cuts. The violins that I am working on now are the result of 4 years of prototyping and a bunch of money given to me by Kickstarter.

Novo Instruments We are creating the first ever half-size carbon fiber violin for use by kids. It'll be durable but also cool because of its graphics.

Hurray! Sold the red woven fiber violin!
And I saw the other day that there's another CF violin maker out there in the world.

They are doing the same thing as everyone else as far as design goes. I am surprised that I still have the only traditionally styled CF violin available.
Haven't been making much these days, but still have some inventory from last year on eBay.
