 All the instruments that I build hopefully will live beyond me. You know, these instruments that we cherish and prize are hundreds of years old. Hello, my name is Cameron Robertson. I am a luthier. I live in Atlanta, Georgia, and I am the owner of Cameron's violin workshop. Luthiers are people who make and repair stringed instruments, or luthier, if you're French, and that's the way that they like to say it. I came into this trade a little bit by accident. I had an incident with my base. I took it to my local luthier who was able to set it back up, get it correctly. Playing for me was really fascinating to see him work with his hands. Well, that was my next step, actually. I enrolled at a violin making school. Cameron Robertson is crucial. I mean, not only does he actually physically make violins, he teaches, he helps repair. It's so surgical, right? It's so, like, traditional. But that's the beauty of Atlanta, too, because nothing's traditional here. There's not going to be a one-way how-to-do-it answer. I love the materials. I love the intricacy of it. It's really, really precise and finite work. A big group that is supportive, though, for me, actually is my clientele. I invest a lot of my emotions and personality into my instruments and my work, and it's really great to get positive feedback, especially local teachers who see the work that I do. It's really great to be able to work with really top-level professional musicians. It's incredible to see their talent and their skill. It's also really great to work with students. They need a lot of help. These are difficult instruments to play. The learning curve for violins is pretty steep. It's really easy to sound really bad for a long time. One of the challenges that I always have is the same thing that's so great about the work that I do, and that is the great variety of stuff that I have. Making sure that I'm staying focused on the work that I need to be working on. I've worked for a number of shops here in the area for a number of years. I didn't have that personal connection. I really wanted to get back into making my own instruments, to putting my brand, to building the things that I really wanted to build. You know, society is getting back to touch, you know, feel, you know, that true experience of something in your hand, and that's the beauty of what he does. I mean, if we think about the classical training of a bass player, you can never pin AT Alien down when it comes to music. We have so many sorcerers, so many wizards, and that's the beauty of Atlanta music culture, that we are many things, not just one. We want people to keep playing. We want more music. We want people to have an interest in the arts and have a love for this music. You know, if we can help foster that, you know, at a young age and help them in school, even if it's just giving them a proper sounding instrument to play on, that, you know, that they can tune themselves and actually sounds pretty decent, I mean, that's a really rewarding experience.
