I am a vie ol vie violin maker, everyone assumed i would be a sculpture, i thought so myself, i read a book about a violin maker who i was 13, it caught my imagine nick, it has given my a lifetime challenge to try to better who i do, you can see the motions. The vie turning, for some it is pumping like a heart, it is not actually alive but it is like it is alive alive. I have have instruments for joshua bell, andio yoyo ma. Right of there with athletes they can hear amazingly small distinctions, a client of mine was trying violins, onstage there were but meaux sessions, i was there with a very wellknown violin dealer, none of us knew which was, which the dealer said, which is which, i dont know when is the strad, and which is yours. 1991, a copy of his, stern has passed on since then, still taking care of the fiddle. A big part of that i do is adjust for people who have them from me. That relationship is something that i enjoy. It is a great feeling to go to a concert hall, hear someone play with my violin. It is loud enough, is the base full, projecting, i am listening with half an ear delay. Every day when i come in here and look attwood pile. Attwood the wood pile, i wonder who is going first, it or me, you can feel how lively it is, that is just waiting to go, it needs before tuesday use it, i feel like i have different people in me, the artist that shapes and carves, then the engineer who thinks about the structure. And there is the sound technician who is doing aye adjustments. I feel like those parts of me take turns, they sort of exist at the same time but they come out at different points at the stage that im at. I imagine it is going to vibrate when it coming together, i feel by numbers and by sound.

I was 15 1 2 when they took me to the concentration camp, my father sat down with me, he told me to that i dont survive, i dont want you to honor us by the future. I came to america. Everything that i know was taught to me in this victory, and asked me, if i am the happiest, a lot of people will tell you other things, but i tell you truth, im the happiest when i am in the factory downstairs watching the work. Not one stale tailor making a whole suit, it takes about a hundred operations on a jacket each by hand, each person does a different item perfectly, it is matched up, every stripe, every place. When a person comes to buy their first suit from me, he picks the collar, i pick color, i pick the fabric. Why . By the first suit, what i see in our customers, when they try on the first suit, is whoever comes with them looks at them, and they are shocked to see hugh how beautiful that person looks, because it makes a difference when you put on something right.
