My dear friend and deadly rival Jamie Buchanan has asked me to, er.. "big up" (his words, not mine) the fact that Amati is having an amazing reception at the Landsdowne Club in Mayfair as part of their usual exhibition. Apparently it's at 6.30...
Obviously blatant commercial posts are not welcome in Maestronet, so rather than being helpful to Messrs. Amati & Co, I am merely joining in the present mood of mischief that abounds on Maestronet, and conspiring so they end up with a huge bar tab at the end of the evening.
Here's a picture of a cello soundhole. Apologies for the piece of paper obscuring part of the view... I'm not that good with a camera.
[violin makers, please note - there is a dress code... sawdust is frowned on in the Landsdowne Club]
