The VSA's violin makers' workshop in Oberlin is almost upon us, and I am busy making templates. The group project will the be "Kreisler" del Gesu, but I decided to model my personal project on the "Lord Wilton". I have been resisting the urge to pretty up the ff-holes (described by John Dilworth, if memory serves, as 'wandering drunkenly across the front' of the instrument, or words to that effect) and the scroll, which appears to have been hacked out rather hastily, and is oddly flattened in places. Bill Scott's departing words to me were not to be "anal" in my making, so what better undertaking than attempting to copy a del Gesu?
Meanwhile, my "Peter of Venice" is having a lovely time hanging out in the garden, tanning.
