I have mentioned earlier about finding a really genuine, but ageing, luthier and his wife running a music store in a 2 mile wide town.
Anyhow, on my first trip there I also tried a few of his violins. I was impressed with one of his medium price violins. Why should one sound so good?
With this violin stuck in my mind, I came up with a scheme. I would offer my violin as collateral and then borrow the one I liked for a two week trial. He agreed, but I wanted to play it a little more right there.
Then he "confessed", the violin sounded great and it was one he hand made!
How wonderful to see the smile on his face that someone else recognized his special sound. Perfect bliss!
A simple afternoon that I won't forget.

@ftufe Yes, that is NC but I can't say where or we'll have a plague of Yankees !
@kevin Yeah, I just needed to get home to the right bow and the deal was done.
I had a week to decide but it's a done deal.
Maybe I should hold off calling him so he can enjoy the suspense for a little longer.
