| General Information: |
| This files contains correspondence on, a proposal for the formation of, and descriptive info on the Violin |
| Institute at UNH. It resulted from CMH's observation that violin makers in NH needed help. She went |
| first to Strawberry Banke, a non-profit historic area emphasizing arts & crafts, to see if this could be a |
| source of assistance. Further investigation of possible sources led to Harry Hall, who had been a |
| graduate student with FA Saunders at Harvard and was at that point head of the Physics Dept at UNH. |
| He visited CMH at Lake Winnepasaukee, where they did the original planning for a facility at UNH. |
| This idea took hold and the Institute began, in the summer of 1974, offering courses in violin making and |
| repair under the leadership of Karl Roy. The faculty later included Hans Nebel, Arnold Bone, William |
| Salchow and others. It has continued to the present. In the summers of 1978 through 1980 CMH |
| provided 1 to 3-day seminars in Violin Acoustics. |
