NewNewbie Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Anthrax kills 2 drum makers Anyone see Hill Street Blues? Sgt. Phil (Freemason) Esterhaus His 'roll call' was usually the start of each episode. His catch phrase was "Let's be careful out there." Violin makers 'roll call': People let's be *safe* out there. -------------------------------------------------- Today is election day, so a reminder to those that can vote today, to do so! Oh and don't forget to rest your horse! Horse resting day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~ Ben Conover Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Nope, gonna put a new label in my next violin, Obama 2008. Please note relevance to the early days of Hill Street Blues and drum making anthrax worshipping Oven Chips. Otherwise, anyone got any photos of a lyra da braccio ?

NewNewbie Posted November 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 If America sneezes, the whole world gets a cold! A lot of people not American, have something at stake in this election. As to voting, I would hope that anyone anywhere that has a chance to vote, would think seriously about it, since that vote is important no matter what.

Terry Maurice Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 Hide glue is made from animal skins and glue stocks are listed as one of the concerns with respect to anthrax contamination. I have wondered about this in the past if glue could be a carrier of anthrax or does the processing eliminate this possibility? There is no way of knowing if the hide glue one is using came from an anthrax free country or not. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way of knowing if the hide glue one is using came from an anthrax free country or not. Terry ................................... Terry It's an interesting point. From the press reports I've heard here in the UK this unfortunate incident happened when the guy was striping hair from skins. Anthrax spores on the hair became air borne and he breathed them in. There does not seem to be a public safety concern re skins he might have actually sold fitted to drums. Perhaps our concerns should extend to bow hair more given this. I've not heard of anyone running into trouble from glue, but it certainly should be treated with caution. Mad cow disease might be an issue as it's prion agents are very resilent.....plenty of mad violin makers around including me......Working with animal glue I seriously think it is wise to observe basic hygene and treat it like meat for cooking (ie chicken). Wash hands and surfaces after contact and clean the glue pot after use....never let it fester because bacteria that like animal glue like animals and probably humans too.
