Inspiration

[Hank]

Richard,

Being a follower of ,and an owner of Your artistry ,and listening closely to your wonderful discussions on your inspiration of building from the “Old Masters” of violin making…..Might you suggest some books that cover the master violin luthiers that affected your designs?

I’m always looking for knowledge in my old age…….especially if it allows me to more completely appreciate the instruments you have created.

They have many of them. Some are available in no cost PDF and several can be downloaded from academic libraries.

if you can’t find any, LMK and I’ll send you copies as long as you promise to ship them back when you’re done 🙂
