From the Portland Herald:
When Mark O’Connor’s instrument shattered, he asked Jonathan Cooper to fix it.

In his Portland workshop, Jonathan Cooper repairs an instrument owned by violinist Mark O’Connor.
The violin crashed to the floor with a sickening thud. Mark O’Connor knew right away the damage was severe, and it left him numb with grief. Since O’Connor first pulled a bow across its strings when the varnish was barely dry, the Maine-made violin has been an extension of his being.
