A violin made to travel.
Our short film Folk Who Roam follows the making of a community violin, built to be played, passed on, and shaped by the people who carry it out into the rural landscapes that inspired it.
This violin’s journey is only just beginning, and now it’s ready to roam.

Q. How long can I borrow the instrument for?
Generally for a couple of days or up to a week depending on a demand. If you have a particular project in mind that would require more time, just get in touch.
Q. Does it cost money to borrow?
A. Nope! But if you’re in a position to do so, we’d always appreciate a small donation via our donations page to help us with the ongoing costs of running the project.
Q. Is the instrument insured?
A. Yes, it is covered by our insurance whilst in your care.
