Yes, Anselm, please do ask for me. There is no need to hurry. Even though it isn't my Pöllmann just yet, and might get away if I wait, I am interested in the man who made it. The carving details are consistent with the designs featured on other embellished Pöllmann instruments. I guess it would be somewhat unusual for an instrument like that to be completely made by one person. It doesn't diminish my interest in this instrument or the craftsmanship to know they have a skilled specialist doing the embellishment. Enjoy your concert tour and we will see about it when you return.
