Amelyse

Gainesville Violins has always made use of the traditional European apprenticeship model, duly modified for and adapted to modern American circumstances. Apprentices eventually "graduate" to become fully-fledged workshop assistants.

Assistant Amelyse Arroyo started as an apprentice in August 2005. She plays a fine antique French Buthod à Paris violin from Jan's "Vault Collection" and was a member of the Alachua County Youth Orchestra since her middle school years (pictures taken in April 2006).
