David Kerr Violin Shop

Violin maker/restorer David Kerr opened Kerr Violin Shop in 1976. He was a cofounder of the Portland Baroque Orchestra in 1984, playing with them as well as Philharmonia Baroque in San Francisco until 1999. Instead of following in Jess Wells’ footsteps to an obsession with building fly rods, he discovered glass. Currently he is making fused glass in his spare time.
