Exporing the mysteries of carving an OM soundboard this occured to me:
"What is the difference between a plumber and a luthier"
"A plumber has more success with tap tones!"
Disagree at your peril!!!
"Everything I say on the topic is based solely upon inexperience and assumption!"
Another take on this...
..A plumber gets some $$ return on every tap, whereas a luthier....
Reminds me of the joke, what's the difference between a rock guitarist and a jazz guitarist?
One plays 3 chords to thousands of people whereas the other plays thousands of chords to 3 people!
