The first instrument we made together was similar to learning to play duets. We had disagreements on many of the small points that each felt was important yet when the instrument was done it was much more satisfying for both of us. As it turns out, classical instrument making was almost always teamwork… Stradivari with his son’s ..Del Gesu with his father and maybe even his wife…. Da Salo had Maggini … we have each other….it’s a tradition we’re happy to continue.
