Our story
Amos began his career as a luthier in 1974 at the Violin Making School of America in Salt Lake City. Although never boastful, his craftsmanship was awarded four gold medals from the Violin Society of America between 1980 and 1982 and was designated Hors Concours status in 1984. Amos’s skills and attention to detail were exceptional; he was highly sought after as a master restorer. He never rushed and nothing left his bench until he was satisfied. He was a teacher and mentor to many aspiring violin makers and restorers.
Our goal
This fund is a memorial for Amos Blynn Hargrave. He was a celebrated luthier who attended the Violin Making School of America in Salt Lake City, Utah. His time at the school was very dear to him and he also would have benefited from financial support while he was in school. We would love to offer this opportunity to a young, aspiring luthier.

Such a gifted man. It was such a pleasure meeting Amos and talking shop. He made my broken down fiddle sing.

Amos restored my violin and became part of its story. He will be missed.
