The Makers
How the craft passes between people. What an apprenticeship actually taught. Ferrer, Conde, Gerundino, Sanchis. What a workshop holds beyond its tools, and what dies when one closes.
How the Craft Passes
What an apprenticeship actually taught. The widow's workshop and what a house name does and does not tell you. Tap-tuning, the bench and the ear. Why the essential knowledge could never be written down.
Four Houses
Ferrer and the Granada line. Sanchis and four generations in Valencia. Conde, one name across three workshops. Gerundino, the maker who built without a lineage behind him.
The Workshop and What Outlives It
What a shop holds beyond its tools. The stamp, the label and the signature, ranked by what each can be asked to prove. What happens when a workshop closes. Reading a maker through the instrument.
