As far as advertising is concerned, get real. All the luthiers on this list are getting their name out there by being here. That's not the only reason we're on here, but if you think you're making a good product, why not tell people about it. I've been on this forum for almost 2 years, and the person that's made an impression on me the most as "advertising" is Anders. Let's face it, this is Anders' forum. I'm cool with that because I respect Anders and he clearly deserved his reputation here, as annoying as the built-in PR machine can sometimes be. I'm happy for Anders and I like what he stands for. I truly don't think Tom goes in the for the heavy self-promotion. Half the time he jumps on here (which is rarely), he's touting some other builder such as Navarro (that I did find a little strange actually). I think he's genuinely excited about the old masters and just enjoys building and talking about them. He's not pulling a Kenny Hill and getting his copies mass produced in China, or, as far as I know, Pakistan. But maybe there is something I have missed. Anyway, that's all I have to say. Peace out
