Watch an instrument being made
“Walking into a workshop with nothing to buy feels like wasting a busy person's time. A maker who spends months on one instrument is usually glad someone wants to see why.”
The Recipe
- Find the nearest maker who builds instruments by hand (a luthier, a violin repairer, a piano workshop) and go in without anything to buy.
- Ask what they are working on now and how long it has already taken.
- Watch one operation, ask why it cannot be done any faster, and how they knew this was the work for them.
