Precious Commodity and Renaissance
I believe we are living in one of the greatest eras of scientific discovery mankind has ever known. We are experiencing a renaissance of new making in all its exquisite detail — through sharing of knowledge, lore, experimentation, expertise and especially the raw materials and availability of tools.
A Luthier is trained in chemistry, physics, thermodynamics, acoustics, mechanics, metallurgy, biology and life sciences as well as the arts, design and principles like the golden mean — all while sitting in near silence. Time off only allows for the Materialsaverage bad pun. Applied knowledge is never wasted. One can never learn it all.
Materials
All raw materials are culled, sifted and otherwise prepared by me. Elements of finest quality from around the world. Pigments are ground here and applied by fine sable brush. Likewise, Varnish is made from raw elements. Retouching is guaranteed, reversible and constant.
