Just received the visit of master maker Howard Needham

May 18, 2009 at 7:58 PM

Just received the visit of  master maker  Howard Needham, he came here with a client. A very nice man and maker with a true love for his art.

As usual, in such occasions we talked about wood, models, varnish and other aspects of our obssessive/compulsive activity. It was an special day.

I liked his violin very much.

OCD???

BUNK!!!

Two master luthiers collaborating, picking each other's thoughts, growing and enjoying each other's company and furthering their art...that's how it should be
