Thank you for posting this. Her life's work with stringed instruments is unbelievable.

I have a recording of Dominic Duval playing the Hutchins bass (I'm thinking it's the bass, not the contrabass - I have to go check).

The clarity and articulation of that bass is unreal. And it's not sterile - it sounds sweet.

And I never heard Dom Duval sound better than on that bass - ever.

I hope there are sufficient people out there who will continue her work.
