I was approached about a year ago this time with the idea of remarketing the Blues Tool Rack. The original designer had other commitments and could no longer make the racks. I declined since it was around the same time I started my apprenticeship with the Filisko Guild and didnt have time to focus on learning how to fix harps and make racks.
He was/is however looking for someone who has the skills to handmake the racks. You must have high standards as a craftsperson and businessperson. I believe at the time he had the extra parts for making the racks.
the rack was marketed for around $100 or more. You would be responsible for keeping the high quality design intact in order to be granted the right to produce them. The owner retains the copyright on the rack.
the situation may have changed after a year.
IF someone feels they are qualified to produce the rack at the high standards set by the original maker contact me offlist and I will see that your message is forwarded to him.
This isnt a casual business that you would do as a weekend hobby.
