  • In some ways this video is so boring, but yet in other ways, for those interested in this, it is so fascinating. No amount of "playing in" or 'after the build vibrating' will change the the sound of an instrument as much as building it right in the first place.  The above likely would have sounded just fine without the recurve, but with it, so much finer.

  • When you strip away the hype, this is where it's really at. Great video.
