Mock up fitting

Just to show what happens with the three piccolos. Necks are almost shaped, time to... cut soundholes? I forget the order of things, another dangerous side effect of working too much at the office. And in Georgia. And in Israel. And in Finland. And...

First Argapa casualty

Poor Robin. Poor little cedar top Argapa. Damn you, ice covered slippery Swedish ground.

We'll attempt to fix it. But first the customary 40 days of sorrow.

Aya's uke finally fixed

Aya's G-string soprano had two holes from strap buttons, one in the slender heel and one next to it where the screw missed the block and damaged the thin side. So I cut the hole clean and glued a small diamond shaped patch in it.

And I put the new strap button in the neck block. And now I'll tell Aya it's done, I've looked forward to that.
