Abstract

George Braith has not taken a break since he first picked up the saxophone in seventh grade. ''When you stop playing, you lose something,'' he said. ''You got to keep it going.'' That's why at 72, he still plays twice as hard as any horn man out there. He can't help it - his specialty is the Braithophone, a rich-sounding instrument he made by welding together two saxophones. After years of tinkering with various incarnations at his Staten Island home workshop, he now plans to travel to Taiwan soon to explore manufacturing. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

16. At the Met, Replicating Art Works Bit by 3-D Bit.

Author

Kennedy, Randy

Subjects
*STAIRCASES, *WORKSHOPS (Facilities)
Abstract

JUST off the Astor Court in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's sprawling Asian collections, an unobtrusive door is cut into a white wall, a door most patrons probably never notice. But behind it, up a narrow staircase leading into the oldest part of the museum, one of the newest and most innovative practices in the fields of sculptural conservation and scholarship has been taking shape. That the project evokes visions of ''Avatar,'' especially in the environs where it is under way -- a plaster-splattered Victorian-era museum workshop right out of central casting -- makes it all the more unlikely.
