Wow - thanks for sharing this. I've always been fascinated with the craft that goes into making the instruments we use for our art.

It might be a challenge to find what it was I watched, but 12 years ago maybe on basic cable I watched a fascinating documentary they went over the process in building various orchestral instruments. I remember one part that fascinated me was that certain violin strings are made from dried twisted animal intestines. I can't imagine the thought process that went into figuring out that one.


Cheers,
