Good old fashioned disaster
Friday, April 24th, 2009Well, no one ever said that making musical instruments would be easy….
This week saw the demise of 40 low D whistles after several school boy errors by various people (including myself). The business of making things well is not [in my experience of working in the creative industries, whether it be in craft, design or say music or writing] ever easy. After ten years of making musical instruments it is still the tinnyest of errors, say as little as 1/100th of a millimeter, that can leave lots of instruments, which would otherwise have flown out into the hands of musicians around the world, in the rubbish bin.
Sharp eye and steady hands
Thursday, March 26th, 2009This week I welcomed a fresh set of hands into the workshop – and a steady pair of hands they are too. Nik Powell will be a very welcome addition to operations at Mk Music and I’m sure with the addition of his skills we will be able to get on top of things to bring the waiting times for instruments down.
