| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Photonman, the old saying is that a violin maker will spend all day telling you about his/her varnish but won't talk to anyone about the grounds they use. | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? far-out dude. | |
| what is the theory behind maple stands and racks? Thanks Guidocorona for your comments concerning string instruments. Funny as it may seem, some violins are now being constructed out of graphite. There are no worries over temperature or humidity but I believe most string players would prefer a na... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? Asians have always faced discrimination in the US educational system. Look back to Lau vs Nichols and the San Francisco Board of Education. I doubt if anyone could even name me five current Asian American College Presidents. | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? Also did you know that Jews and Asians traditionally have scored higher on SAT's than any other documented group. Nevertheless, Asians face the toughest challenges being accepted to top ranked colleges in America. But luckily for me, the conservat... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? Unfortunately, hand strength and dexterity are issues for classical musicians. Robert Schumann hurt his hand in a device that he made which was intended to give him greater reach, strength and flexibility, however the injury that he suffered ruine... | |

| Difference in quality in products made in China? Well then Wolf-garcia you undoubtedly must be right. I can see by your responses that you've been involved in teaching classical violin and piano for 60 or so years. But since I have these ridiculous racist stereotypes, then I'll add these as well... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? Swampwalker, is that what I said? If I were to mention to an Asian violinist that she had natural hands for playing the violin (which is often the case), that this would be defamatory remark rather than a simple observation. There was nothing in m... | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? The weirdly racist and unsubstantiated claim that Asians have more "nimble fingers" is utter nonesense. There are simply a LOT of Asians to pick from and therefore a lot of Asians around everywhere (especially in Asia!)...I grew up in Honolulu whi... | |
| Where to buy a Sgt Pepper Album Cover? I'm sorry but I may be confusing things however, there are posters of the record cover. You can find these on ebay and they're not expensive. My sister had this poster many years ago and had it framed and matted. She died at 29 other wise I'd offe... |
