    I'm not sure who gave this video thumbs down but this is an amazing talent to hand craft this instrument. My dad built one and the first song played on it was amazing grace. I get chills every time I hear that played.

  • @romherz10
    @romherz10 4 года назад +3

    Do you build violins without putting the sound post or soul?
    Inside the box is the soul of the violin, which is a small cylindrical wooden bar arranged between the top and the harmonic table on the right side of the axis of symmetry of the box (that is: practically down, to the right, of the area where the bridge rests), on the opposite side to the web, along the inner face of the top, a strip called a harmonic bar is glued with glue. Both the soul and the harmonic bar fulfill two functions: to be structural supports (the violin undergoes a lot of structural stress) and to better transmit the sounds within the resonance box

    @priscwy794frag 3 года назад

    All that work to produce the visual beauty but that is just the beginning. When first bow strokes begin, that is both the revelation and the judgment how much the mechanical work achieved the sound. It can be devine, it can be a can.
    There are two very basic: where is the instrument positioned overall between strong sound and the sound full of harmonics (soft). Second basic feature is the distribution of soft/strong between four strings of a violine.
    There are other, but these two characteristics will determine the destiny and life of a violin.
    It would be interesting to know, which I don't, how many violins have been discarded by prominent old masters in comparison how many they managed to produce of high quality.
    If an old famous master produced 1500 violins during lifetime, and if he worked say 60 years, he made one instrument every two weeks. If he managed to obtain high percentage of high quality instruments, than surely he had some secrets that many other violin makers did not find.

    I used to play the violin and always wanted an instrument that stood apart. If the colouring of the varnish doesn´t add to the quality of the sound, why are they all made so brown from new? Nostalgia? Beautiful craftmanship and a joy to watch though.
