It’s truly remarkable to see how much work is carried out by such a small, committed team. I have great respect for the dedication and effort that goes into maintaining such a profound legacy.

I often think about the artistry of pioneers in the creative world and find a lot of inspiration in the level of commitment it takes for others to continue that sacred flame. It’s more than just making an instrument - it’s about contributing to something that endures. I really value that understanding. Ars longa, vita brevis.

Kind of a shift in the original post. I have purchased many commercial and custom built instruments and my evaluation of the quality building out of the S.E. Shop is that of very high quality and material to match and the prices are surely justified.
