Official Luthiers Forum!

Pretty cool! Wish this had been available when I was voicing my Heshtones. Once again our friend Brian Galloup has come up with a very cool idea.

I used to have to use a microphone or transducers, a spectrum analyzer I used Strobosoft and I also used Audacity but I can't remember why at the moment.

This hammer combines the functions of all three.

$450 is mouse nuts for anyone who is serious about lutherie.

If you ever get the opportunity to visit Brian's school here in Michigan of which my business partner Dave Collins is a grad, apprenticed and taught don't miss out. It is by far the single best lutherie shop I have ever visited and it's enormous too.

I want to know what it offers that I don’t already have.

If it was a Buck-n-a-half, I’d buy one for the fun of it? At $450.00 I’ll stick with what I have -

Yep that's steep for sure I thought that too.

I didn’t find anything on the website explaining how to use it. Did I miss it?
