Omobono Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Interesting insights into lives of the contributors here. Congratulations. Martin, on your move and hope your impending 'decrepitude' is not all that imminent, Jeffrey. Nice studio. Whose portrait is on the wall with the massive viola or baby cello?

It's a woodblock print of Paul Hindemith by an east coast artist named Dan Miller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-G Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 Ah, Hindemith. An old retired symphony violist who had seen him play in NYC told me: "He played the viola like he was digging his grave!" I took that as a positive thing: committed.

I've been a bit busy in that department myself. I also have cooking capacities in the shop. Didn't think I'd care about that aspect,, but I find it very handy. Building things up while trying to run a business is challenging, but worth it! Front room and deck: Nice front deck, with a top desk To put a violin on, the legs of the desk are one of the best designed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I vacuum regularly, Jacob. :-) There is another work area that tends to collect ore wood chips, but I do have a tendency to keep things clean.
