Wenn ich in Text sehe, was du schon alles gefertigt hast, aber noch nicht veröffentlicht…
mir läuft das Wasser im Mund zusammen.
Ich hoffe du findest – neben deinen anderen Verpflichtungen – irgendwann die Zeit, die noch ungezeigten “Schätze” zu präsentieren. Was ich bisher an Bildern gesehen habe, läßt mich Ukulelen von höchstem handwerklichen Niveaus vermuten!
Liebe Grüße!
Old Boy
Ahhhh, danke für das Familienfoto, da hat man doch gleich eine Vorstellung, wer sich hinter dem Namen versteckt.

A word on comments:
To start with, the subject of this blog/website is music, musical instruments, and instrument building. That’s it.
I’ve been getting a lot of comments from people saying they like my blog and want to start their own blog and could I give them advice, suggestions, etc. The only information I can share is
– I use WordPress, it’s good enough for my needs.
– The design I use is Twenty Twelve.
I have no particular interest in discussing the ins and outs of WordPress or blogging in general, so if that’s what you are here for, please go look it up somewhere else. Comments of this kind will never appear on this site, as they have to be confirmed by me and, with all due respect, that is not going to happen.
Visitors may be wondering what happened to the RSS feed. I have been getting so many comments concerning the RSS feed that I decided to remove that function from the site/blog. My apologies to anyone who actually used the feed out of honest interest in the latest posts.
COMMENTING DISABLED AS OF 20 NOV 2020
Sorry, but I have been getting dozens of useless spam comments every day and I just don’t have the time to check through them all the time. No one has expressed anything on the subject of music, musical instruments or instrument building, so…
