Was the famed Stratavarious (sp) violin made in a factory or garage? Bobbe's post made me wonder about that.

One of my guitars is a Strat-of-various parts, made in a friends living-room. It plays like a dream, and looks like a nightmare, does that help any ?

I doubt Antonio Stradivari had a garage or a factory.

All fiddles were made in arks in 1779. Except for Suzuki,which were built in their motor cycle shops. Ed naylor wound the first pickups for Strad in 1784.Harry Hess was the first customer for this unit and seems to know the most about it! A licensing problem came up in June of 1788 and all fiddle production stopped until Leonious Phendher restarted production in 1799. I know this is all TRUE cuz I read it in the Phaul Phranclin
history of the world!

Bobbe, you're about 100 years too late with the timing.

Antonio Stradivarious Did have a garage, but he died waiting for someone to invent the car so he'd have somthing to put in it!Remember,DaVinci had a hangar and almost had a helocopter invented to go in it! He HAD to invent a flying machine,he had the hangar! I also have first hand knowledge that he and ONLY he, invented steel guitar with very little help from Phaule Phranclins great great great great-- grand phather!

You assume too much. I asked a buddy at work (who's a pilot) what "CB" meant.

You'd think that meteorologists would learn to spell. I'd abbrevaite cumulonimbus as CN.

David, thats exactly why I couldn't figure it out on the discovery channel "pilot briefings". I'spose this isn't where I should get briefings that my life depends on,but they have been as accurate as anything else so far. I just needed to know what CB's were.I thank you very much!
