I have taken great pleasure in exhibiting instruments at various competitons over the years not only as a way of presenting my work to dealers and players but as a way of continuing a conversation with my colleagues about the state of the art.  I list the medals below not because I'm proud of them (though of course I am) but to acknowledge the fantastic spirit these contests foster - of advancing an art and craft, of improving a sound - and the great discussions that happen when a thousand instruments and their makers are in the same room.
