The Master Class attendees discuss the event:
"I have attended the Master Class and I must say that I found it interesting. It is true that rarely have the opportunity to learn from a luthier with such extensive experience. From the class, when I look now I see concepts seemed abstract for me before.From the Master Class I've noticed that certain concepts that seemed abstract or assumed in advance, now become important in modulating the voice of an instrument (amazing how much content can give just 2 hours!).
Jerzy Congratulations and many thanks for your kindness."
