Eliot J. Smith Fine Instruments

Hi everybody, i want to thank everyone for their amazing encouragement, support, and continued enthusiasm for my band.
It has been a pretty amazing experience for multiple years.
I have had the opportunity to see many new places I wouldn’t have otherwise, meet incredible people, and play countless hours of music with some of my best friends.

I have begun to transition into being a luthier full time, I will hopefully have the opportunity to gain a higher education in this field and be able to further hone my craft, to be able to make instrument building a career!

I would like to thank the band and especially the Purcell family for all of the love, support, and opportunities they have given me over the years. I have had many great experiences with the band that I will cherish, and have been lucky to make many friends along the way. I want to wish the band, its members, and all of the never ending support nothing but the best. I know there is a long and exciting road ahead for all of these guys!

The new fiddle is all strung up and on its first trip into the world!

Working on a new rib structure this afternoon!
