Fabulous interview and story of restoration and discovery. His closing is lovely: imagination trumps technique. I couldn't agree more. Keep up the great work on the journal, Rob. It's helping me as I forge ahead with my lap playing journey (weissenborn)

Interesting on a couple fronts. The wood pulled out of the neck is much more "professional" looking than a lot of the examples I've seen. I assume it's because it's a relatively early one. They would put all kinds of junk in there at times! I've seen a couple '31s and a '32, one of them, I don't recall which, was literally scrap that was kind of wedged in there. Oh did I mention I own a '32?
 Secondly I hope his hollowneck experiment holds up. NRP had to to do a little engineering to make the new modern ones truly hollow. My fingers are crossed. It's great when a player, as opposed to a collector, takes something from the grave, to the recording studio. Warms the heart. Great to hear stuff like this. While I sometimes wish all such work went to someone like Schoenberger, I'm also really glad it doesn't. Thanks again for all the work!
