Cellist Akua Dixon plays her Hutchins Baritone Violin–the very first baritone that Hutchins ever made. Violinmaker and cellist, both long-time residents of Montclair, often shared mutual interests as neighbors. Hutchins loaned and eventually gifted her baritone to Dixon who has actively sought to educate the public about Hutchins, and her super-resonant octet violins. The baritone is the sixth instrument in the Hutchins Violin Octet, the violin closest to the cello in size.
