Stephen R. Davy Violins is a curious website for a curious little music shop in Laguna Beach California. It was constructed primarily out of old sheet music from the Duke University Historic Sheet music archive. It could be a bit oddball for some but the weirdness about this site doesn’t end with old paper. There’s actually a ghost in it! When we cut the girl out of the old portrait (taken from a Civil War antiques shop website) in photoshop only her face mysteriously reappeared later! Do you see her face in the 1st photograph? Take close look! We wonder if there are any other ghosts on other web pages.

Currently this page is being totally re-done by us for a more “commercial” look and also the client moved his store. We wish every site on the internet were as weird as this one. It’s our dream but we know it’s a bit much for people. People like boring things. This site had the business in mind but also art. We wanted to convey a mysterious love of the violin and that ultimately all violins are made from trees and horses (the glue and the bows). There’s something special about violins that brings us closer to nature.
