- At 13:07 I gave a wrong measurement!!!! The bridgefood of a full size violin should stand at 19,65cm and NOT at 16,5 as I say
Dear Friends,
Here I try to set up in realtime how I set up a violin. Similar situation for those who purchase a violin via internet and get it shipped all taken apart. For a sound freak like me a disaster. Putting every part in it's position is quite quick; but than doing the fine adjustment of your sound takes many many hours and even days. But that's another story.
This video became already very long and if you listen to everything I believe you can learn a lot; nevertheless I suggest to review the following videos as well since their information is crucial for the sound result of your instrument.

Thank you Maestro.
Thank you, my new friend!
Setting a sound post is only easy for experts, I use the clip setter because I quickly realized the setter is for someone with experience. If I had a junk violin I either could cut the end off of or cut a large hole into, to see things and easily retrieve the post 100s of times while I leaned that tool, I would use that tool. If you have an uncut or poorly cut bridge, they sell a bridge template tools to give a starting point on the bridge shape, it also has finger board arching template, and string spacing template. I have a 100 year old no name dark German Amati and 30-40 year old Chinese Skylark Guarneri shaped (beginner for their times) violins, I paid under $80 with shipped, to try violin playing. They are nice, made with the correct woods, unlike the bass wood under $100, new alternatives. They need everything though (strings, old/poorly cut bridge, wrong length sound post, worn pegs, peg hole issues) and doing this is time consuming, time is money so I would probably pay more to set one up than I paid for the 2 violins. Living in a large suburb I probably would get someone with plenty of experience who would do an adequate job, but there is a chance you get someone without experience or does things quickly, so it is fun to lean to play and lean setting up. If it doesn't sound good having paths to better sound, you should have some mechanical/using your hands/solving problems interest to take this path, I have an engineering background so it's something I have interest in.
Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you!
Wich pegs are you using on this violin? They look quite interesting...
Hey I have a question for you. My violin currently has four fine tuners. Would it be possible to replace the tailpiece with a boxwood tailpiece, replace the G, D, and A fine tuners to only make the violin have a fine tuner on the E string?
Hi Patrick, Yes of course your violin will sound more open and free with a tailpipe with only one fine tuner; but on the other hand you will have to learn how to tune with the pegs. But believe me the more you tune the better yo become!

Because I want to have more resonance and if I can do that, would I also have to change the pegs?
Pegs don't really change in a way that I could give you a real formula that with these pegs it sounds like this or like that. Of course if you change four ebony pegs to four much lighter boxwood pegs, you will obtain a difference. And of course the other way around. But change now only the tailpiece and let me now.

Thank you very much for the advice!
in the 13th minute you said 16.5 cm. but in another video you said 19.5. please enlighten us.
