[Google translation] This sentence is used. I think that is an inappropriate expression of the characteristics of the translation system, please understand !
I think a wonderful circa 1680 Cremona in Violinmakers had to share the information.
I believe “Linus’s Law” . “Linus’s Law” is Eric Raymond in his essay “The Cathedral and the Bazaar” claimed by the law of software development.
He is named in honor of Linus Torvalds.
Instruments officials should share information with us for a better job, I believe.
Thank you!

After it had graduated from the university, I learnt the basic technology for six years as an apprentice of living in in the violin atelier. And, my atelier was established here in 1989. Only the work of restoring had been almost done to Dealer in around 1994 since 1989. Sales of a stringed instrument and new musical instruments of the old Italian exceeded ￥100,000,000 by interest in Japanese yen in 1994 increasing. However, problems such as ’The response of the sound was bad’ and ’The carrying power is insufficient’ occurred in the stringed instrument that I had sold from recent.
Recent ..’Musical instruments became tired if ..stringed instrument.. balance was not suitable’.. was noticed, and in a welcome thing, Dealer’s work was decreased and the research of ‘Stringed instrument system’ began to be real.
This research worked slamming on the brakes other work. For instance, 252%UP was done after the shift period of three months was installed and it raised the price to ￥15,000 of having done rehairing of the violin bow with ￥5,800. Thus, the number of guests has been decreased to 1/4.

However, the situation in which the income should be earned at once other working about the violin making for too long ‘Study period’ is held.
In a true meaning, the life as my violin making just still started.
Thank you above.
