Re: ISO standard for musical instruments
Mass produced instruments would really benefit from uniform standards (scale length, tuner post spacing and gauge, tail piece screw spacing, etc). One at a time shop builders can do what they want. But, just perusing the Cafe over the years the lack of standard in tailpiece hole and tuner posts (which are pretty standard) has caused lots of frustration over the years.
I think things like top graduation and recurve shape, woods used, finish material are all free to move around but hardware and some structural specs being standard is a good thing. Welcome to the Industrial Revolution!
