Hi! I am Prescott Solie, a 14 year old, violinist, violin enthusiast, and violin repairer. My intention with Paganini's Violins is to provide affordable violin repair and violins for sale at affordable prices. This will make it easier for people with limited budgets and interest to discover the beauty of violins and classical music. I began my violin repair journey in the spring of 2023 when I resurrected a 1938 Guarnerius model that friends had given me. Working with my late grandfather, over the course of four weekends we opened it, did crack repair, shut it, fitted a bridge, set the soundpost and other various tasks related to getting a violin into playable condition. When we finished, it played beautifully and I fell in love. I now play it almost every day. This sparked my love of violins and violin luthiering (making/repairing). In the following months, I put my story out on Facebook, advertising for more violins to work on. I shopped for them on ebay, and was given them by friends. It is miraculous how many broken violins people have when you are looking for them! Now I am creating this website so that there is a space not only where I can help you, but where you can help me. It is a place where I can continue to make my dream of becoming a real luthier a reality. If you took the time to read these ramblings, know that you are the subject of so much thanks and that you are helping a kid's dreams come true.Thank you so much,SincerelyPrescott Ostrom Solie
