Thank you , Justa Picker (I see you are a prolific poster) and Sorcha . I see that there are posts that included David Rubio - man I empathize with - , and other subjects regarding violin innovations so there are obviously many here that are very well informed.
At Maestronet the well heeled players were so caught up in pedigree I fear some have fallen for the "Emporers new $14,000 clothes trick". Then there are fiddlers like Henry the Fiddler who was simply too (conservative) to even try one of my best fiddles regardless of a 30 day trial period. I am still looking to equip a leading fiddler with one of my creations , be it new or vintage in origin.

Its Sunday so I'm going to put on my Strength in Numbers CD with Edgar Meyers CD and make some waffles then set up a Super RED ruby violin with a midnight tiger on the back (its eyes gleam in the dark).

Are esoteric science or ancient history posts to be proceeded by BS ?
