Fiddles–and fields and fields of corn! The Chimneys Violin Shop, Boiling Springs, PA, is nestled in the Mennonite/Amish countryside, where it has upheld a long tradition of more than half a century in teaching
violinmaking to aspiring luthiers, utilizing the acoustical methods made famous by Carleen Hutchins. Though founder Ed passed this year, the luthier’s legacy lives on in the house he donated to the cause, and in the teaching methods of his student Nelson P. Steffy.
