#1 Making a string quartet from first shavings of the wood...

Post by jack »

Just loved this - not your usual rock-n-roll, but such skill - Luthier Brian Lisus at work using only 16th Century techniques:



He has a web site: http://www.lisusviolins.com/

There is something about real craftsmen & artists that can almost bring a tear to the eye...

Agreed.

Leo Fender + Jaco Pastorius = tears of joy.

A long video, but I marvel at the craftsmanship. :)

You can imagine the look on Joe's face while thats going on :-)

Probably the same look as when Joe realised it wasn't a good idea to feed him Alcohol either I'd imagine.

tears in the eyes or whatever, I can't help thinking Nick's original post/thread has been hi-jacked.......

can't we have another thread doing homage to Jaco...then I can join in...as it is I was hoping people would enlighten us with tales of luthiers here.

am I being a bit OCD?

I've suggested this before, but I do feel we need a "Celebrity Slash" thread...

"Celebrity Get my Urine out of this!" New Telly series.

I remember you mentioned that story before Will, JP went through a phase of going a bit 'Red Indian', in the 5 piece Word of Mouth he tuned up en regalia with additional face paint...

Witness...

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.
