Award Winning Luthiers
Forrest Vorce
Carole Vorce
Forrest has made three violins, and now a magnificent cello, named "Stella" by his mother. Carole Vorce is also a luthier of long standing. Her many mountain dulcimers testify not only to her superb woodworking skill, but her talent as as artist. She paints flowers, animals, and landscapes on her instruments at clients' requests. Carole has also completed three violins. She and Forrest learned from Michael Klein of the Gardinari Program of Violin Building.
The long awaited day when the bridge is carved and installed, and the strings are put on is really the final "report card" for any instrument. The sound is glorious-----it exceeded all hopes for what it might be.
"Artifacts are alive. Each has a voice. They remind us of what it means to be human---that it is our nature to survive, to create works of beauty, to be resourceful, to be attentive to the world we live in."
Great Basin Archeology, Fremont Story
Forrest has created an artifact that will live and sing for many generations. Not only is it a magnificent piece of woodworking.....it is a tool for communication. What cannot be conveyed in mere words, the cello is able to express.
