Leonard Lopatin--Player/maker

 
Hello Jose and all my good friends,

I am so pleased to be invited to join and participate in this blog!

Jose has been great to look at to see his repair techniques and tool.  I've been honored by the compliments he has given me about my work, too.  So it is great that he has created this new blog.



Here are a few pictures:

It is my great honor to have you on this blog, in all these years and I had the privilege to learn from you their manufacturing techniques.


  Whenever he and needy and had a positive response from you, and that helps me in my day to day, all this together makes you have a great friendship and sincere.

I hope that you later want to publish important articles Lopatin handmade flutes.

Are you a great musician and a great manufacturer



  Thanks for all Leonard
