making a outline of the bass. The original is in Minnesota by Peter Lloyd.
Since some years we build this Guarneri and the Model comes
more and more popularly. So, some Bassmaker colleges have now
the great idea to make also Guarneri models....

I just met Ralph in person along with hie 'big' brother Michael. We have talked by Email in the past but this time they (Michael mainly) looked over my 'Big Gamba' and gave me his opinion of how it might have been made and where. It was very interesting and to date, maybe the best opinion I have had as well. Then Michael said after giving his final opinion.."Ok, (hand reaches out) $100. please....".. But a slightly smaller smile that than as I was reaching for my wallet. His hand went down as I grabbed my wallet so I just smiled, put my wallet, shook his hand and said thanks.. He visited the Bass at least one other time afterwords as well.
