Our shop is in the old Quaker village of Friendsville, TN, just SW of Knoxville,
near the Great Smoky Mountains. We've got great scenic roads popular with
bikers, cyclists, and sports car drivers. Wonderful lakes. Great hiking! We're
right here. Accessible by boat, as well
|
How did you develop the process?
|
|
I read everything I could on getting violins to work well. Clearly many different
approaches were effective. Then Deena Spears published her book "Ears of
the Angels." I tried the physical techniques she outlined and system I now use.
|
Does anyone else do this?
|
|
No.
|
|
No.
|
Can you come to our event?
|
|
Yes, let's talk.
|
Does this leave permanent signs?
|
|
Minor signs of light scraping in the interior and on the bridge, not particularly
visible.
|
Does optimization void warranties?
|
|
Shouldn't. Very difficult to tell anything has been done. If this voids a
warranty, then a pick mark would!
|
Can you optimize other instruments?
|
|
Yes. Violins, violas, guitars have all come through here.
|
How about those fishing rods?
|
|
Works very well on fishing rods! I did several pro circuit bass rods and my own
fly rods. They get very sensitive and supple.
