Day 6

Today Tom an I went to a meeting and demonstration in a luthier's shop in southern New Hampshire. The group was the Guild of New Hampshire Luthiers. It was very interesting, there was a demonstration of how to remove a top you want to scrap without taking off the binding. More interesting, however, are the people there. There are hobbyists and serious luthiers, experienced and inexperienced alike. The group was small, as it was limited at 20 people due to shop space, but talking to luthiers about their craft was great. The best part was getting into conversations and talking about subjects that I feel I have become reasonably knowledgeable about.
