== Violins ==

Hello again, Voce! How are you? Just wondering if you've ever heard of Benning Violins? They are a 4-generation old luthier business (starting with Paul Toenniges) with some coverage (e.g. this and this); what do you think? I have so little time these days...the most interesting things usually are the ones which require the most research, don't you agree? Cheers,   
Hi . Sorry for the tardy reply. I think there probably is enough for an article, but you'll need more than just local Los Angeles articles. There seems to be a fair amount in various journals , but alas they are all in snippet view only. Best,   
Thanks for that, Voce! What about its founder, Paul Toenniges? I have this. Could you help me with refs?   
 Interesting, but I would not know where to look for more. They get played. Ask ? Or better an American?   
I can't find any mention in any British reference works or newspaper archives. I think Gerda is probably right that your best course would be to ask an informed American editor in the musical field.  talk  
 Thanks. Could you point me in the right direction? I'm not knowledgeable on active american music editors. Regards,   
 Try project classical music?   

Here is an article from Jewish Business News, an international news service. Not sure whether this source is a news source or a blog, but try here as well. I think you have enough for an article.  
Cheers for that!   
Hi . Here I am, tardy again, but thank goodness for my helpful talk page visitors. There are some further articles at Highbeam to which I have a subscription. They're all from the LA Daily News: "STRING BINDS GENERATIONS OF VIOLIN MAKERS" {2003), "Los Angeles Family Celebrates 50 Years of Violin Making" (2002). Email me if you need copies. You might want to consider covering the founder in Benning Violins and then creating a redirect from Paul Toenniges for now. The Jewish Business News one above is clearly marked as press release—OK for basic facts, but doesn't count towards notability establishment. Best,   
Thank you, Voce, as always. I'll email you about those. As for Paul, I'm gathering several refs, so we'll see about that when we get there, yes? Regards,   
. What do you reckon?
