RE: [Hornlist] Re: Elkhart 8D
Hi Lawrence
That reminds me of when I started my apprenticeship Paxman back in the 1960,s.
Bob Paxman gave me an old bell with cents and creases all over it.
Having done my best to remove the damage and presented my work to him he
would then bang the bell on the edge of the bench and say do it again, and
again, and again.
It certainly made me aware of the quality of work needed
Cheers
John Ward {still repairing after all these years!!!}

Desolder and resolder some joints.
An old friend of mine was a violin repairer. He told me that when he
started at college the first task was to make a violin. When it was
finished he proudly took it to the master who congratulated him, then
threw it the length of the room and said, now go and mend it. Each time
the instrument was restored, the master would damage it in some way and this
was the instrument he used throughout his initial training.
Cheers,
