Restoring Oconomowoc’s Orchestral History The Chatfield instruments were donated to the  Oconomowoc Area School District by Frank Chatfield in 1937. They were comprised of two violins, one viola and a cello. Chatfield, a long-time city planner for Oconomowoc, took up the hobby of building and repairing stringed instruments, most notably, violins, violas and cellos. He harvested wood for his instruments from trees in the Lac La Belle Area, and some of that  wood, which still exists, will be used to repair the instruments. The donated instruments were used by students for  several decades until they fell into disrepair and were eventually put in storage.  In 2015 OHS Principal Joseph Moylan had a decision to make, whether to dispose of the instruments or preserve them. He chose to save them, but not just for museum status. After consulting renowned luthier, Scott Sleider of Wauwatosa, it was determined that the instruments could be restored to playing condition. The first instrument to be completed will be the cello in early 2018 with  the others to follow shortly thereafter. The four instruments will be  featured in a special concert in late spring of 2018 at the conclusion of the OAC 10th anniversary season. For further information on the Chatfield Project or to make a tax deductable contribution, click here.  The Chatfield Project will be funded through private donations from members of the community and local charitable organizations, grant monies and a noteworthy fundraising event. This summer, OAC Director, Michael Duncan, received a donation of nine stringed instruments which were transformed into one‐of‐a‐kind works of art by local and regional artists. The collection will be auctioned off to the highest bidders to benefit the Chatfield Project. To view the instruments or to place your bid, visit biddingowl.com
