On some level it is reassuring to see that some things never change . . . whether it is the customer shockingly penniless in mid-job or the Endless Luthier Coffee-Break we will never know.

Nor need to, now that you've finished it up. Nice going, Ken!

The un-restored Top, Back and Scroll were found in some shop in Europe, not assembled and without Ribs. They were lying around for a long long time and no one knew where these parts came from or who had owned them before.

Now, it is all together as a Bass and will live longer in its re-build than it had in the past as a bass. The form is simple and beautiful. The Scroll is modest but mature looking. I would love to know who the original maker was.
