Reading an article in the December "The Strad" has me wondering about the f-hole. As I look at the minutely "asymmetrical" example provided by the Brusilow Del Gesu...all I can come up with is "seriously?".
We...in this generation...are guilty of over thinking everything. ..especially in hindsight.
Taking a page from my knitting (yes...I know and I don't care )...I make mistakes that I don't correct...I eyeball...I will chance doing something different if experience suggests I can safely predict the outcome. Anyone who knits better than I do might see those aberrations. ..and anyone who doesn't - won't. I can't overthink every step of every project . ..or nothing would ever be completed.
Isn't it more than likely Del Gesu just eyeballed the f-holes and if he saw that they were a bit off just shrugged his shoulders and said " Meh! Good enough! Who is ever going to notice? "
