It was a real treat to attend the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers 2024 meeting in Denver, Colorado in April. Post-COVID, it was great to reconnect with colleagues from all over North America after a long hiatus. The agenda of presentations focused on Flemish and Dutch makers and shed interesting light on these often less studied historic luthiers. This meeting is always an inspiration. Looking forward to 2026!
