A 1994 violin that he made for Isaac Stern set a record for the highest auction price paid for a musical instrument by a living maker. He is a graduate of the SLC Violinmaking School, and studied advanced making and restoration with Carl Becker and Rene Morel. His faithful copies of classic violins won early acclaim, and he has designed many personal models as well. He has worked closely with acoustic researchers and is often on staff at both the Violinmaking and Violin Acoustics Workshops at Oberlin College. With Strad3D, he has brought together an inspiring group of scientists, violinmakers, musicians, filmmakers and designers. Sam lives in Brooklyn NY with his wife and two sons, and plays fiddle with a variety of performing folk music groups.
