I prefer to replicate the ones I don't have, from their patent, and even if they stayed "an idea" and were not produced.

What they did with Amiens is really cool and smart!<br /><br />The famous painting by Rembrandt, "the Night Watch" originally looked like a prize at the fun fair, so bright it was. It wasn't intended to be "the Night Watch" at all, as it was a scene shot in broad daylight, although inside.

I think I will do it on a Humanatone some day.<br /><br />The advantage for nose flutes upon cathedrals or pyramids, is that we can collect several of the very same model, and thus, keeping one "as is", and restoring others, and differently.UkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-85744193838475954712012-11-13T03:44:29.032+01:002012-11-13T03:44:29.032+01:00I want to say that I very much enjoyed reading thi...I want to say that I very much enjoyed reading this post, both the the post itself and the comments.<br /><br />I appreciate the work done to describe the process, and I think that the end result is great. It gives a good idea of the original without loosing the character from the aging of the instrument.

But, on one hand, I have 3 of these german flutes, and on the other this one was particularly destroyed by rust. So, I thought it was better to try to restore itUkeHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01175787452954907320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266509147115962751.post-1998507659808619812012-11-12T13:15:09.957+01:002012-11-12T13:15:09.957+01:00Super superb post!!!

Wouldn't it be nice when the original packaging was brought back to life somehow as well?<br /><br />On the one hand I prefer the object as it was found: what you see is what you get. This way it shows its age and patina.<br /><br />On the other hand restoring it completely, bringing it back into its original condition, Maikel Meinoreply@blogger.com
