Michael Gene Scoggins, Salt Lake City, 1993

​​Michael Gene Scoggins (b.1954, d. 2008) was an important luthier in the Salt Lake City violinmaking scene for many years. His former wife and fellow master luthier, Carrie Scoggins is a friend of our shop there. His work, as displayed in this violin after Guarnerius, reminds us that one cannot go wrong with an honest and direct approach to making and a good use of solid and honest materials. His extraordinary wood selection, beautifully antiqued varnish and crisp, clean edgework make this a thoroughly reliable instrument that offers strength and intrigue for the conservatory-level or professional violinist.
