Interview with Vinny Giaconia Part 1
“Imagine the coordination and the ability to see details that small; it just blew my mind every time”
Vinny Giaconia is the bell maker for Best American Craftsman (BAC) Instruments in Kansas City. We became friends during our band instrument repair school apprenticeship at Minnesota State College Southeast Red Wing Technical in Red Wing Minnesota.
In this entry we discuss what brought him into the brass instrument manufacturing industry, advice he would have given his younger self, and what his journey has been like since becoming the youngest bell maker in North America in the last 50 years.
