Thank you very much for sharing these wonderful videos. I am learning a lot. I am also restoring an old violin... but I still have a lot to learn. Blessings. Greetings from Argentina.
Another interesting week in the violin shop. I am looking forward to the repair with the spruce edge-garland. Will you bevel the inside edge of the ring? The professor's cello is looking great. Frederico should visit Freddy when he can. Stupidicus.
It's good to see you looking well and back in business again. Pounding that resin looked like sheer hard work! Umm, perhaps the professor needs an artisan apron with a cello on it? Just had to stop and increase the resolution to look at the cards close up. Yes Freddie, please invite Frederico so we can learn more about Strad. Any thoughts on plate tuning? Or is it just a matter of tapping, and developing a good ear for the tone?
Yes, the professor was borrowing his mother's apron. I think it took him courage to wear! Regarding plate tuning, I prefer the ear method and then going from what I hear. Thank you for commenting and hope you have a great week!
at what point would you decide to make a new top as opposed to the addition of new wood around the outside and dealing with sections that are already too thin?
That is a great question. In this case, the cost of a new top would exceed the value of the instrument. And yet, if you had a very valuable instrument, you would want to preserve the original as much as possible. I think it comes down to a case by case situation weighing the pros and cons. Thank you for commenting. I always look forward to them. Have a great week!
Thank you for your question. When working with violins from the different centuries, the best solution is to go with 2 to 3 dimension from the nut to the edge of the violin and then from the edge to the bridge. You take the measure from the nut to the edge and divide by 2 and then multiply that by 3 to get the length to the bridge. The standard now from the nut to the edge is 13mm and if all comes out it matches our standard strings very well. Hope you have a great week!
@@Violinsforu2 That computation results in 195 mm. Some people use that number to locate the bridge foot, splitting the foot in half. After locating the bridge my question was string vibrating length the distance from the nut to the front of the bridge i.e. 330, 328, 325 mm. Thangs for all of your postings. have the bees settled down?
Full of interest, as usual! You have made a good start on the next 100 episodes! Have a great week!
Thank you, Mr Pinch. I appreciate your comments. I hope you have a great week too!

You are welcome! Thank you for commenting and I hope you have a blessed week!
t is amazing that Stradivarious was so perfect. I think he was gifted by God, as no one can compete with him.
He sure was! He knew God had given him that task of improving the violin! Thank you for commenting and have a great week!
Very very good 👍😊
Thank you, Tony, for commenting! I hope you have a great week ahead!
@@Violinsforu2 you are very welcome 🤗 and some to you as well ❤️🩹

Yes! I will bevel the edge until it starts to ring. Thank you for commenting. I am just starting to feel better! Hope you have a great week!

What is your vibrating string length on a4/4 violin from the nut to the front of the bridge?
