Where there is a will thereis a way.......

In case anyone is reluctant to click on an unknown link: this is the trailer for a documentary about a youth orchestra in Paraguay which uses instruments made from discarded trash harvested by slum dwellers who live on a landfill dump site.
Appalling that people have to live under such conditions. But the video is inspiring. Thanks for the link.

My uncle has published a book how to make violins.
I'm always interested in books like that. Do you have an ISBN for it?
Nick
Yes, dear ...

How about Uilleann pipes ?
just for the challenge
:)
The trouble with Uilleann pipes is that they are a real bugger when you try and tune the strings.

You never said that you were only a stringie
Do you want to make me a guitar?
So am I. ISBN please, or details of where to get it.
Ask me again when I retire. When I moved from making to mending in
1984 it was because I realised that I could never give a reliable delivery date to either if I mixed the two. My retirement plan is to drop the repair business and just make the stuff I want to make. Though don't ask me when that will be: my retirement date is dropping over the horizon faster than the interest rates on the investments that are supposed to be funding it :(Nick
Ever dealt with these guys?
Well give Jon a call and ask if you can advertise in their shop/do any work for them/advertise their shop in your work place?
Or would you be treading on each others toes? I know they repair some instruments - maybe you specialise in different ones to them? Certainly worth a call if you did try your retirement plan and needed somewhere to advertise.
I have not seen Jon since he got married and left for West Yorkshire - but he will remember me.
Call them and ask:-)
Straddlevarious Geoff. Did you get it?
(I thought it was rather good)
