Good old fashioned disaster

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Well, 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.
