Last evening we had a tremendous concert with the Riverside Orchestra in New York City. After the concert Sinda and I enjoyed a wonderful gathering with friends I had met last summer in Asheville, North Carolina at the Swannanoa Chamber Music Workshop. This was the first public concert for my violin George

Laying out the F-holes on Juliet
Laying out the F-holes on Juliet. Juliet's model is from Steve Sirrs CAT scan of the Betts Strad. These F-hole printouts came straight from the Betts model. There was a little distortion due to the flat printout and the actual plate arching, but the fit is pretty good! Maybe next time I'll have my apprentice…
