This really is an important moment in the life of a historic instrument. And I am sure Mr. Berline has more than one amazing story to tell.
Hmmmm...this goes a few steps past baking it in the oven! Didn't Frank Wakefield do that? He might have some interesting assessments about changes in the tone when he finally sits down to evaluate things...hope he and his shop come back better than before!
