Yey, JL, you and L need to get to the big city too..
(is there some institute L would like to check out???)
truth
No, she's been there and didn't like it. I have to go one day when the weather's good to have my violin appraised by some guy who is supposed to be very authoritative in such matters. But that is still on the back burner.
While I am there I plan to spend real time and take in the art world as much as I can.
Sigh.
JL, on the violinist, there was an article maybe in the NYer about such a person, maybe three years ago? There or the NYT. I might even have saved it, but maybe not. Have you seen the small book re pianos in Paris?

JL, when you are in town, you gotta let me know. I can get into town with no trouble at all -- and I'd love to see your violin. :wink:

It's a deal, Frank. If I don't come with the fiddle, can we get together anyway?
No, I havn't seen the book nor do know what you're referring to regarding a violinist. I was referring to a expert appraiser. And now that I looked up his name, I can't find it. Have to track him down again from scratch. Someone even suggested that he lives in Chicago. I'd to know if you find the article, and give me the gist of it.
That was me that mentioned the article (I think, unless two of us are doing that and I am not listening enough again.) Ok, I'll go on a hunt, but I bet I didn't save it. It was not about an appraiser though; it was about a craftsman-fixer, best I can recollect, last of his kind sort of guy, and it was in NYC area, wherever the hell I saw it.
On the book, I leant it out, it was really about pianos, but a treasure in any case. I think I posted on it in what are you reading now, but that is a lonnnnnng thread. Then again, maybe I didn't, heh.
truth
Osso, I hope you will hunt for the article at your most liesurely pace. Thanks.
OK, there it was on page 24, geez, JL, a mention of the Piano Shop book -
The Piano Shop on The Left Bank
I loved going back through that thread. Too bad your interest is not in pianos but violins.. but the book pulled me in to a fine place...
The link above is to amazon's ad for the book. Not sure if ordering it through that exact link counts for A2k; I'd order it through a2k's link on the home page - if I wanted to - to be sure a2k gets a little help from a purchase..
