Hello there. I don’t know much about music so I must ask how do you tune it? Do you twist the small dowels to increase the tension on the strings or something I can not see? Very nice btw👍🏻🇸🇪
The pegs are like violin pegs. A tapered peg in a tapered hole can hold a string better than you'd think. There's a wider part at the back of the peg, like a paddle, that allows me to grip and get it tuned up to the pitch I want.
G'day Patrick, Thanks for posting this, i haven't made one of these instrument as yet just researching construction methods, and I'm thinking along these lines. Good job! BTW Happy St Pats Day
It is also important to note that it is a art when it comes to building instruments. The amount of work, detail and technical data that is put in by Rauno Nieminen is unmatched and the world will be almost lost without him, buildning johikkos. He is a true master. Also Anders Norudde. He also knows exactly what he is doing and isn't afraid of experementing.
Both of them are inspirations for me. I don't claim to be any kind of expert. I'm sharing one of my builds is all. I think this was my fourth and I'm now working on my twelfth (but didn't document it with video, I'm afraid). Rauno Nieminen deserves tremendous credit as a builder, but much more for being so much a part of reviving an instrument that was almost unknown outside a very small circle of people.
Great work patrick! Looks great, nice and trad. If you're going to make a second one i do have a bit of advice, which is to make the sides just a fraction thinner! helps it resonate some more. and is there a soundpost inside? Good luck and have fun!
You are right about that, for sure! My building is a bit amateur at the moment. I've made a couple since this video with much thinner sides. (And this one does have a sound post, though I have built them without, too. Hard to decide which I like best, to be honest.)
Hello, Patrick. Thank you for this video! Could you please tell me if you don't use the lélek in your lyre design, which is usually located under the bridge and transmits the sound from the top deck to the bottom?
In this one, yes, I do have a sound post. I have made others without it, which is interesting to compare. Without, it has a much more nasal sound, though it isn't appreciably quieter.
@@avendim I'm afraid it didn't end up on camera. Part of the issue with trying to shoot video and build something at the same time. The sound post in this case was glued to the back before I put the soundboard on. I know that's not the most traditional way to do things. In a future build, I will try doing the "correct" thing and inserting it through the sound hole.
@@patrickwoolery6000 Thank you for your reply! I'm leaning towards the gluing option for now, too. But it would be great to see, how the sound post installed the classic way.
That's good advice. I tend to feel comfortable with certain tools, but you are absolutely right to remind me because it is normally the tool that seems like a friend that actually ends up causing injuries.
@@patrickwoolery6000 also you should add a riving knife to the table saw to prevent kickbacks (i'm not shure it just lookjs like ther might be none) would a be a shame if such an excelennt crafter looses fingers

G'day Patrick,

just researching construction methods, and I'm thinking along these lines.
Good job!

Glad you enjoyed it. This wasn’t terribly complicated, but it turned out very playable.

@@patrickwoolery6000 thank you for your response, Patrick.
At what point does the sound post place up? In your video I didn't see it being set.

Awesome!
Awesome video but when you use the table saw you shouldnt go that close to the blade with your hands use a push stick itll save your fingers
That's good advice. I tend to feel comfortable with certain tools, but you are absolutely right to remind me because it is normally the tool that seems like a friend that actually ends up causing injuries.

@@chrisvaupel It is my dad's saw. I just borrowed it for part of this project. I agree that I don't want to lose fingers.
