So this discussion seems to have boiled down to two camps, those who say it's possible to make a good instrument for a low cost by spending enough time on the project, and those who say it's impossible to make any instrument without spending more money than buying a professionally made one.
So those of you who say it'll cost you more to build one than buy one, where are your numbers? What exactly is it that is going to cost more money? I'm seriously interested in specifically what you are thinking the money will go towards. Do you truly believe you can't build a good sounding instrument without spending thousands of dollars on exotic hard woods (and therefore a beginner will ruin more expensive wood than a new instrument will cost.) Or do you believe that only a $600 block plane will make the proper top for a good sounding instrument? Lets have some specifics, not just a generalized "it'll cost more" statement. -Steve On Tue, Oct 25, 2011 at 10:27 PM, Kazimierz Verkmastare <[email protected]> wrote > > > [snip]. . . > > It is a project done for enjoyment, and because I am wasting resources as I > am building knowledge, it is NOT going to be significantly more economical > than if I had commissioned it. ... that it will end up expensive (the cost > is truly inversely proportional to your skill and resources), > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hurdygurdy" group.
