When Prier joins us, he is a contrast to the gathering bustle of the shop.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Impressed by his patient demeanor, I fall fully into intrigue for what brought him to Salt Lake City and how his shop came about.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_100840\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100840\" class=\"wp-image-100840 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51-350x389.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51-350x389.jpg 350w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51-922x1024.jpg 922w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51-768x853.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/51.jpg 1081w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100840\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Peter Prier inspects a repaired cello prior to releasing it to the customer.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It started in Bavaria, with a discarded violin in a World War II bomb crater. Prier\u2019s grandfather discovered it, refurbished it, and bestowed it upon the grateful 7-year-old. \u201cI saw in it neck, shoulders, waist\u2014just missing a head and legs.\u201d His corporal interpretation at once reveals the life this artist first saw and still sees in the instruments.<\/p>\n<p>It also begins to explain why Prier became not only a violinist but a &#8211;Sculptor? Carver? Prier and his son Daniel assure me that a being a luthier is similar to both. \u201cBut with one difference,\u201d Prier specifies. \u201cThis is not exactly like making a wood bench, because it has to sing!\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd variances are so exact,\u201d his son Daniel adds. \u201cThree-fourths of an inch is a mile for a luthier.\u201d That precision was part of the draw for the young Prier. At 14, he had completed high school and was interested in working with his hands. A radio show featuring the nearby Mittenwald Violin Making School aired in sync with his ambitions. \u201cThirty minutes later, I was convinced.\u201d After studying there, he immigrated to Salt Lake City to work at Pearce Music Company, arriving so late at night that only in the morning did he see his mountain views. He made up his mind to never leave. Beginning in 1965, he performed with the Utah Symphony. He opened his first shop the same year, and seven years later founded The Violin Making School of America (VMSA).<\/p>\n<p>Today, the school averages 22 students, who, 3.5 years, 7 violins, 1 cello, and a thesis later, emerge among the best-trained in the world. Charles Woolf now owns the school, and Prier serves as Director Emeritus. \u201cI go over there and show them antiques, you know,\u201d he says as he opens a case and presents a Giuseppe Guarneri violin owned by collector Ferni, and played by Paganini himself. Ferni\u2019s daughters, the authenticated story goes, took turns practicing on it day and night. He is particular to direct my attention to how well this instrument has been preserved, and describes the exterior\u2019s finish in terms of reds and purples. Originally, varnish was mixed by apothecaries to achieve hues now revered, similar to the mystique surrounding \u2018the Stradivari Secret\u2019 (Guarneri and Stradivari are considered the world\u2019s greatest violin makers in history). Odd it may be, but pregnant beetles harvested from a cactus in South America form the base of the traditional recipe, which is still used today.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_100841\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/52.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100841\" class=\"wp-image-100841 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/52.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/52.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/52-350x270.jpg 350w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/52-768x593.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100841\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cello and viola room at the Violin Making School SLC, UT.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_100843\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100843\" class=\"wp-image-100843 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54-350x232.jpg 350w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/54-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100843\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student from the Violin Making School SLC, UT cleans repair items<\/p><\/div>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-13486 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/luthier-peter-prier\/58-34\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/58-290x290.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/58-290x290.jpg 290w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/58-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/58-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/luthier-peter-prier\/57-38\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/57-290x290.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/57-290x290.jpg 290w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/57-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/57-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/luthier-peter-prier\/55-43\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"290\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/55-290x290.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/55-290x290.jpg 290w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/55-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/55-360x360.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 290px) 100vw, 290px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>It is the luthier\u2019s attention to craft that makes the artform so unique, and so sought after. For Prier, varnishing constitutes the most challenging step in his artistry. By contrast, most luthiers find the beautiful scrolls and F-holes near the middle of the instrument are the biggest challenge. But Prier discovered his knack for these artistic elements early on, and in fact paid his way as a young artist producing those very components for shops. As for designing the ribs, tailpiece, and a whole gamut of other steps, he tells me simply that although it does get complex, the goal is musicality. An even sound must be achieved from the E to G strings; the pitch of the violin cannot be shrill and the instrument must blithely elicit a tone. I smile because he is holding the antique violin as he describes all this, bow in hand, and I know it will be difficult for him not to play something.<\/p>\n<p>The spontaneous performance is gorgeously proximal, both due to the size of the room and my closer, more quantified awareness of the patience both instrument and performer represent. \u201cYou see, I love to play. That\u2019s the thing,\u201d he smiles. \u201cIt gives me an idea how it could be made better. There is no such thing as good enough.

As stand-alone pieces, each instrument is a feat, taking about a month for a master such as himself to complete. Recently, however, he finished a body of work at yet another level entirely: a quartet comprised of two violins, one viola, and one cello. \u201cTo make it sound like they all love each other is a difficult thing. The first violin is brilliant and makes the biggest sound\u2014it is the soloist. The second violin must be very close to it. The viola will be closest in sound to the cello, so you see the difficulty.\u201d Utah Symphony players will be performing on Prier&#8217;s quartet instruments October 20, 2012 at the Salt Lake Recital Hall, a venue he also founded and which sits adjacent to the main shop.<\/p>\n<p>My final question regards which trait violin-making has most demanded of him. The answer is in harmony with all I have seen today: \u201cPatience. One has to be less aggressive to others, and to the violin structures themselves, or it just doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As I leave my conversation with the engaging Peter Prier, it is a reluctant exit, though the strum of the door reminds me of how rare the whole experience has been. I pass the statue, school windows, and mural in a kind of rewind accompanied by a new perspective, such that I find myself mentally listing a few of my own projects that could use more artistic patience.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_100839\" style=\"width: 1210px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-100839\" class=\"size-full wp-image-100839\" src=\"http:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/50-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-100839\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mural on outside of Violin Making School building SLC, UT.<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span class=\"byline\">To learn more about the Violin Making School of America visit\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vmsa.net\/\" target=\"_new\">http:\/\/www.vmsa.net<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cindy Grigg takes us inside the Violin Making School of America to talk with luthier and composer Peter Prier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100837,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_piecal_is_event":false,"_piecal_start_date":"","_piecal_end_date":"","_piecal_is_allday":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[1066,1067],"class_list":["post-13486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music","tag-by-cindy-grigg","tag-photos-by-gerry-johnson"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/0050.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-16 05:41:01","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13486","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13486"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13486\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":100851,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13486\/revisions\/100851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/100837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13486"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13486"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artistsofutah.org\/15Bytes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13486"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
