"The time I spent with you reviewing violin setup and adjustment was extremely valuable. I appreciated your careful preparation for our time together and thorough coverage, demonstration of procedures, and willingness to answer any questions I wanted to ask. Starting with proper bassbar placement before the closing of the corpus, we continued through neck setting, fingerboard shaping, size and shape of nut and saddle, design and adjustment of bridge and post, considerations for selecting appropriate chinrests, choice of strings, fine tuner, and tailpiece, and tailgut. Finally, we spent time going through the adjustment process for optimum sound quality.

After I returned I showed the violin I had worked on to a number of players in the National Symphony Orchestra. Their opinions were highly complementary, and I know that much of that reflected the improvements in setup and adjustment that came out of the time with you."
