Lilith received an award to cover travelling expenses for work experience with members of Violin Makers Scotland, and made a violin based on a 1712 Stradivari  model during the period of these placements.  She writes:  "The experience of working with the makers was amazing - I learned a huge amount from them - and the fiddle is miles better than my first instrument (so hopefully the next one will be even better!). Thanks very much for the funding which allowed me to have this opportunity."
