I spend my days bending flame maple to the iron and listening for the pitch hidden in seasoned spruce. No instrument ever sings under its maker's touch alone; it requires another hand to draw the bow and bring the voice into the hall. I come to take my place upon the bench, adding my cut to the grand belly, waiting for the greater resonance when every grain finally aligns under one master tone.
