I'm really, really thankful that the people at Alembic have a newer building which I assume has all the up- to-date fire prevention technology one needs. I would hate to read the reactions of club members if the place ever suffered the same fate as the Wishbass workshop. And that's just those of us who have had instruments built for us in the past. I can't imagine the agony of having a custom build almost finished and everything going up in smoke including all the tools that were being used to make my dream instrument come true.

A scary prospect, indeed.   Mossman never really recovered from their fire; I hope Wishbass fares better.
