I've been curious for awhile as to how people get into
instrument manufacture? For example, Mark Chudnow told
me that he learned at the Loree factory in France. Did
he just go knock on their door and ask for training
and a job? Did Paul Covey just buy a big hunk of wood
and try to copy his oboe? I've been curious about the
whole process sicne I first saw a Rigoutat poster with
the oboe in various steps of completion.
