just how cutting-edge the instruments were as well as how hard the technology of the time had to be pushed to make them feasible.
Dear All,
Very cutting edge. It seems to me that things have gone backwards since then. I was an apprentice (old-school, where you make tea for a year before they let you loose on real things). Nowadays I am being told that you can't make things to the sort of tolerances that I had made by hand in apprentice school.
When guitar tweaking you often work to similar "impossible" tolerances!
