"...when I feel good, I sound good."--simple advice spoken to me by Henri Temianka
Simple. It all started with a simple quest for the best tone from a valuable instrument. After a major purchase I noticed the slight pinch in the tone of my mint condition J.B. Vuillaume violin when resting the back of the instrument against my shoulder and collarbone. I created this curve to straddle the instrument. The improved tone was astonishing! Apparently the closeness of the reflective shell and its natural violin curve focuses the sound. Similar to Tuvan Throat Singing.
When others noticed the resonant tone they tried my Curve. Many approved but expressed the need for more adjustment options. Brainstorming for the right kind of answer produced the modular components which became an industry leader for adjustability and lightness. After being awarded US patents and reaching the market, famed performers were seen using my unique comfort solution. Still the search for better materials and more effective design never ends.
