Meus parabéns! Mesmo com poucas ferramentas, você fez um ótimo trabalho! Você é um exemplo da inteligência e força de vontade do ser humano. O violino ficou lindo e com bom som! Saudações do Brasil!
I just saw this video and all i can say is he has so few tools and resources but he also a spirit, great heart and a powerful desire to use his God given talents and create the most noble of all muscial instruments, the violin!!! Truly amazing, God bless you sir, Israel Perez writing to you from the capital city of Guatemala Central America.
Excellent work very inspiring, thank you for sharing. In the north of the country where I live, bamboo grows a lot, perhaps it encourages me to build one, congratulations greetings from Argentina.
This is amazing! I always wondered if it was possible to make affordable good quality orchestra instruments out of bamboo for beginners and people like me that play for hobby. Traditional "student level" instruments seem always to be such low quality just to make them look like expensive strads
it would be interesting to glue the bamboo strips vertically and plane them on both sides to give a thinner panel. This could be donesimply with a sharpened saw blade. As bamboo is very dense and hard this might result in a quite nice sounding instrument. Don't judge the beginner on a violin or any instrument!
Excellent craftsmanship! I’m afraid the bamboo let ya down. Who would have thought, that resonant wood, that makes Chinese flutes sound so amazing, doesn’t help ya much as a violin. Instead of powerful resonance, we get a stifled, nasal sound. Now, it goes without saying, that the soundboard and back needed to be thinner, about 3-3.5 mm thick. You need large, thick bamboo planks, that you can glue two large pieces together, rather than strips, for both the SB and back, then cut the arching, and cut out the back relief, and thin it to 3-3.5 mm thick. Actually, bamboo is a fairly hard wood, which is fine for the back and ribs, but traditional violins are made with softer spruce soundboards, as well as a spruce soundpost. The ribs needed to be a lot thinner. They should have the grain going lengthwise, and be about 1-1.5 mm thick. I love your bending iron idea, good thinking. The soundpost needs the grain flowing lengthwise regardless of which wood is used, the correct position ascertained, not too tight, and the ends need to be well fitted to the interior surfaces. The bridge needs the grain running from top to bottom, and the feet well fitted to the soundboard surface. Unless it needed to be all bamboo, good quality maple bridge and spruce soundpost would most likely help the sound a lot. Also some good quality strings too... Just some ideas. Anyway, nice job!
After all these hours of skilled work, Shane is basically left with, is a VSO (Violin shaped object). I've only been playing the violin for 5 months but have learned SO much about the hows/whys of its construction, esp from Olaf, the violinmaker. Concur your comments. Additionally, the nut is not an integral part of the fingerboard and needs to be removeable. Olaf would have a fit over the commercial glue he used. Violins have to be able to be prised apart for possible future repairs to cracks, etc. This one would be damaged during such a process... Shane did however use an impressive, albeit primitive, clamp set up for glueing the ribs together. The final result is certainly a thing of beauty.
I thot about Olaf as soon as i read "VSO" ! ! I think his use of wood glue is correct for everything prior to piecing the top and bottom plates and ribs together, as well as the neck to the body and fingerboard to the neck... Why don't we use bamboo for fingerboards for real? I wonder if one could bend the strips of bamboo into desired shapes prior to gluing them together to form the bottom plate? Then u might get both the desired thickness and shape without trying to sculpt a block of bamboo as if it were maple.
Is there any Vietnamese bamboo violin for sell in the market here in the Philippines, great job I like that talent you have God Bless you, you show your magnificent talent in a simple tools.
Something people often fail to realize is that people like Stradivari or Guarneri were known to experiment and try incremental variations off the baseline designs handed down to them. People assume too much about "adherence to tradition" and all that, and it's just pure nonsense. There exist Strads without cornices, for instance, or Strads that used willow backplates... I'm pretty sure that if engineered materials (like this laminated bamboo) were available, he'd experiment with them, too. And in general, it's pretty likely that even for an otherwise "traditional" violin, bamboo would be an ideal material for both the bass bar and the sound post because it offers a such a good guarantee of straight, continuous, parallel grain (given that it is technically a type of grass and not really wood).
Nothing is going to take the place of spruce and maple. But those materials can't handle the environment like bamboo can. Also there may be a tough electric application. Keep going/learning and above all experiment!!!
🇧🇷🇧🇷 Try to do the same you see here. The results will NEVER/EVER be the same. There is something that makes nonsense. Ex: he glued too many peaces together to make the violin's body. It shouldn't hold that well together. Even with a nice machinery, this violin should not come out so " easily ".🇧🇷🇧🇷
Many viewing this interesting video will ask "why bamboo ?" when tried and true materials for building violins are available from luthier suppliers. Also, it appears that very effective glue was used in making the bamboo instrument. It happens that a violin will sooner or later need the attention of a repair expert and why hide glue is used by the experienced maker (it allows expert disassembly without causing damage or possibly ruining the instrument).
amazing work! do you know how long it takes to dry the bamboos i have here fresh cuts bamboo (green) planning to make it a ukulele . and is their a specific process to make it dry or just need to leave it outside the sun heat
Bravo , Dear , If it's possible tell about , How many days you got to Construct a Violon? How much you purchase a Violon??? I'd like to have it one . Many Thanks FR.
If I were to wager a guess, I'd expect it to buzz a but on the low end and ring a lot more in the mid-higher end and maybe sound somewhat thin as you play very high up. This is my guess based solely on the fact that bamboo is a really hard and springy material and he only used the one material for everything. Conventionally, violins use both hard and soft woods for this reason. There is little damping of resonances when you only use one material. So because of that you should expect a certain range where the instrument is abnormally loud. We didn't really see him do any kind of plate tuning to adjust for that, but if he did, that might nullify my guesses to some degree.
I'll say nothing about the violin it self.. but this guy, with his basic tools, is phenomenal!!
You have a great deal of patience and talent to make such a lovely instrument with very basic tools and materials!

The money you save on material isn’t that much compared to the time it takes to build instruments.
@@Nonkel_Jef :(
It is a great effort to build this yourself and huge effort, but even a
Young man I am very proud of you you did unbelievable work under unbelievable conditions
No surprise, it plays as good as it looks!
Excelente trabajo ❤❤️💋🇻🇪que dios lo siga bendiciendo para que realice muchos más trabajos como ese 🇻🇪👏
Amazing piece of work.. Stradavari could never come close to it. You could quite literally approximate that he nailed it.
This is quite amazing. Good job. I hope it sounds great.
He plays it at the end of the vid!
Very amazing grate jobe with talented.used good ideas with basic simple tools.Suppose I needed one how can contact u
that is so cute. I love that little violin. and it works too.

@@androidkenobi Interesting suggestion but nonetheless all these bits of wood glued together will affect the quality of sound...
That is beautiful man. All and tools expect the drill. Props bro
Não sei como vc fez isso é o Cavalete dos meus sonhos 🙊💗 bom trabalho pra vc 🙏❤️
Excellent! Salute to you.
wonderful skill and creative ideas!
Complimenti... Le tue capacità artistiche e manuali sono straordinarie... Saluti dall'Italia patria di Stradivari... Iscritto... 👏👏👏
Is there any Vietnamese bamboo violin for sell in the market here in the Philippines, great job I like that talent you have God Bless you, you show your magnificent talent in a simple tools.
awesome work!
that moment when the man steam bends bamboo using a molotov cocktail
I will say that the boy has that much determination maybe we should get together and send them to stuff to build a good one
That thing is rustic as heck, but beautiful considering the tools.
സൂപ്പർ man, super
so beautiful !!!! i want a violin like it for my collection
Ok I love you, but when I saw how you made the fingerboard I barfed!
Good job, that looks fun and cool. Salutations from Parma, Italy.
supub bhai....😎😎😎👍👍👍
Seems lot of hard work as well as intelligent work goes behind creating violin. Great video. Thanks for sharing the know-how.
Antonio Stradivari: i'm not even mad, that's impressive !

@@parasharkchari is this laminated bamboo? Did I miss something Sir? Looks like plain bamboo strips. Not laminate
This Instrument is Like for a child.It is so small, almost too small for an adult.
I was surprise to realise that EVERY part of the violin is made up of bamboo wood.
I would be curious how it would sound if you kept everything the same but had a conventional spruce top plate.
Awesome
That is absolutely ingenious.
👍👍
Congratulations. Wonderful work
まず形にできたことが素晴らしい。竹は、木を超えるかもしれない素材です。
１ｘ１０ｍｍの竹ひごを30度の3層にして、３０％位のエポキシ樹脂を含侵させ、バイオリン型にプレス成型すれば、らしい音になります。なるべく積層は多くするといいです。

Great works. Let's see how it produces the sound.
Cool and great job!
Interesting. More complicated than the mailing of a flute from that Material.
Wow
Is it possible to to open the bamboo and flatten it into a sheet with the help of steam
So THAT'S how Gilligan made the violin with which he wooed MaryAnn and Ginger every night by the lagoon! Except Gilligan had to use fish glue.
Great work....👍👍
Outstanding!!!
Excellent work 🙏🙏
Hats off to you....
Damn fine work dude....
What strings you used give details plz great job

Super
Bravo ,
Dear ,
If it's possible tell about ,
How many days you got to Construct a Violon?
How much you purchase a Violon???
I'd like to have it one .
Many Thanks

Complimenti al geniale liutaio !!
You forgot the chin rest, you know, where you put your chin on. It's alright, I'm quite impressed what you done, quite the accomplishment!
WOW!!!!!
What do u use for hairs on the bow?
So cool very fun
How much does it cost?
If he had few more tools he could be a great violin maker.
ingenioso este man
is it for sale?
Can you tell me what are the length and width of your bamboo sticks?
awesome
That's soooo coool!!!
Can use something else instead of horse hair ?
very nice
So craftsy
And to think all these years I could have used Elmer's glue and bamboo
Parabéns, esplêndido
So impressive,, can anybody tell which glue is used? Is it silicon
PVC wood glue

What type of string you use
19:45 what is being inserted?
And the ready Violin Sounds how? That I Want to know now.
HOW MUCH PRICE OF THIS
It is flat, front and back. Should have shape like clam. Does not.

I think you need to think about the curve of the panel
Thanks for sharing an amazing work. Where are you, @Shane 2000, located?
What is the string made of
😃😃😃
How does it sound? Any video recordings?
If I were to wager a guess, I'd expect it to buzz a but on the low end and ring a lot more in the mid-higher end and maybe sound somewhat thin as you play very high up.
