I have had great success when I’ve ordered research materials from the Library of Congress, one of our most brilliant national treasures; whether it be schematics, plans for building musical instruments, or cultural societies like folk and fiddle music societies.
I’d recommend tryin’ em out sometime. A place to let our human curiosity run wild… shhh.
