I happen to know Matthew and was there to see some of the pieces he was building.<br /><br />@ Ciel, yes, it is a beautiful word, indeed. I remember walking about a mile along Rue du Rome and marveling at shop after shop of instrument makers. It was amazing. One of Matthew's family members lives in central France and makes early instruments, like lutes and hurdy gurdies.<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-34120872570867525792010-01-06T01:17:07.107-08:002010-01-06T01:17:07.107-08:00Hello Kim, happy New Year!

This is a fun example of an otherwise so classical trade.cieldequimperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04541298876304462514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-92138992281335769722010-01-05T20:57:27.289-08:002010-01-05T20:57:27.289-08:00Fun piece, Kim.
