Adapting a Violin

George Muller, born with aphalangia, won violin lessons but couldn't play the instrument right-handed. A teacher came up with a solution: she reversed the strings and moved the chin rest, but the sound wasn't right.

Claire Givens designed her first left-handed violin for George, which was made in Beijing. George is now playing along with his teacher. We wish him many happy hours with his new instrument!
