Music with Minnesotans: Matt Wehling

St. Paul, Minn. — Those who have played their instruments using a Matt Wehling bow compare its playability to driving a Ferrari, but surprisingly Wheling is not a classical musician himself.

He's been listening much more regularly to classical music recently - and much more carefully - mostly so he can understand what a client is looking for in a bow - and how to best make a sound.

Matt is my guest today and shares his playlist as well as his love of helping find that perfect sound as an instrument maker.

Join me next time when author Charles Baxter is my guest. He's introduced me to some new pieces that are just heavenly, including Virgil Thomson's "The Feast of Love" a title Baxter borrowed for his novel, a National Book Award finalist.
