Band to Join.ABOUT
Inst: cshuntermusic
I am a Vancouver born multi instrumentalist, musician and composer. My main instruments are violin, Viola and Cello. I also do studio string arrangements for local and international artists around the world. I can write a string quartet in hours, shipped off to you remotely, fully recorded and edited. Or I can come to record in the studio. I also gig and perform live with bands and can read charts or improvise. If you need me to write a string part to your music I'm happy to work something out as well.
