New tools, old ways help Duluth violin builder create an ancient sound

In the heart of Duluth, amid the echo of Lake Superior’s waves, Dan Larson is spinning tales from wood and gut at Gamut Music. His handcrafted instruments don’t just play; they sing centuries-old stories. Larson’s passion for history and craftsmanship resonates through every violin and gut string he creates. Each piece, born from hand-selected woods and painstakingly crafted gut strings, offers a unique voice to musicians worldwide.

Why does this matter in Minot? First, it’s a fascinating story. If we were making bets, this is just the type of profession that is likely to flourish in the age of AI that is coming. And if a place were making little economic development bets, it might make sense to look at little niche vocations like this and figure out how to help them thrive.

Curio : A new type of content. It's not "news" and it's not "commentary," it may not even be about Minot. But whatever it is, Minot may need it or you may enjoy it!
