Closed for the 4th, but the training continues...

Folks, we are officially closed for the week of the 4th. I'm glad to indulge in a little vacation away from the monitor.

The only person that has to work is Les. He is currently back in Durham, New Hampshire to add more training under his belt. In particular, he wants to learn how to make frogs.

Every summer,the Violin Craftsmanship Institute has a series of workshops and classes that range from repair, making, restoration, etc. Under the tutelage of the great bow making masters such as George Rubino & Lynn Hannings, Les has been spending his summers there to sharpen his skills.

In 3 weeks time, he'll be back with skills sharper than a knife, "be busting out some bows today."
