I think you are onto something when you mention both Richard Sachs and Alex Singer and an interesting one. They are the two makers that I always think of that always get everything right in my mind. I don’t know if it is a formula for longevity or if it is a result of it. Incidentally, my comment is not intended as any type of a slight to the other builders mentioned.
