Thank you for sharing your skill with us! It has been really difficult to find practical information about set-up, especially cutting a new bridge. It is really wonderful to see you at work.
Very good video, after practicing many times with cheap chinese bridges I was able to make a decent violin bridge. My violin sounds 50% better. Many thanks sir.
I have a question: Do the decorative looking cutouts, on the bridge, serve any purpose other than aesthetics? I wondered if they could be to save some weight, or that they may have some effect on the transmission of vibrations through the bridge, and into the spruce face plate?
Thanks for this great video. I wonder if you have also altered the hearts? Also my violin has a wolf on D string at roughly A note, same with high position on G string. Is there any recommendations on altering the bridge to eliminate it? Thanks very much.
When you measured the top of the bridge the first read 1.20 then you reset the caliper and it read .48! The 1.2 is correct yes? Thanks again for your time and talent!

Ich habe Ihre Arbeit mit großem Interesse verfolgt. Drei Dinge haben mich fragen lassen: 1. Warum ist der Stimmstock nicht umgefallen, als Sie die Brücke entfernten? Wird der Stimmstock unter Spannung bereits vorab zwischen Decke und Boden geklemmt ohne dass auf die Decke die Last der Saitenspannung liegt? 2. Die vielen filigranen schnitzarbeiten wie Ausschaben und Anfasen, dienen die eher dem Klang oder mehr der kunsthandwerklichen Optik? 3. Gibt es ein Sollgewicht der Brücke? Welches Gewicht hatte die Brücke vor und nach der Bearbeitung?
Das ist ein kleiner Stanley Hobel. Ich weiss nicht ob es diesen noch gibt. Aber die Firma Kunz hat ein gleiches Modell. Wichtig ist, dass er gut schneidet und die "Sohle" Plan ist.
I like the detail on the bridge cutting. But I'm very meticulous about how I handle a musical instrument especially someone else's. I get very upset when I see people not treating them with respect. When you're handling someone else's musical instrument whether it's a $30 cheap violin or a million dollar Stradivarius you should be respectful enough to treat them exactly the same. Your workbench should have a soft clean cloth that will not damage the instrument anyway not even the slightest scratch. And he used that pencil to scratch the surface of the violin that really bothered me. The noise it was making a loan told me he was leaving marks in that finish. Even after he rubbed the Mark's off I could still see white marks that were permanent. He was also dragging that violin across that wooden bench I could hear the friction coming from it. That may not have bothered other people but that's struck a real nerve with me. It's one thing to have that kind of mentality on your own instrument but you should never treat somebody else's instrument like that for any reason. They make grease pencils that do not harm the finish in any way and can be easily wiped off. When I custom fit a bridge I'll put a really thin piece of cloth over the finish and a piece of sandpaper over that and custom fit the bridge that way that finish is not harmed in any way. I know people may disagree with me but it seem like a bull in a china shop the way he handled that violent at times.
Thanks for this great video. I wonder if you have also altered the hearts? Also my violin has a wolf on D string at roughly A note, same with high position on G string. Is there any recommendations on altering the bridge to eliminate it? Thanks very much.
The most definitive exhibition of fitting a violin bridge I have ever seen! The photographic clarity was superb! First class!

Thanks for this! Please keep posted, I'm still learning carefully. Bless you!
Please make more videos. You do this very well. RUclips is paying for content these days also. I want to learn more.
Nothing like the sound of a sharp blade cutting hard wood! Thanks again for your time and expertise!

브릿지 깎는데 노력이 많이 들어가네요. 잘 배우고 갑니다.

Der Meister bei der Arbeit ! Vielen Dank, dass Sie dieses Video.
I feel like a dentist could be a good bridge maker
Excellent video, thanks for sharing!
Daniel, it would be very interesting to listen the violin sound with each of the cuts to the bridge after and before.
Many thanks.
I've wondered about that too. To actually hear or measure bridge tone adjustments.
Could you explain the theory of the measures you use.
When you measured the top of the bridge the first read 1.20 then you reset the caliper and it read .48! The 1.2 is correct yes? Thanks again for your time and talent!
That was the imperial measure 0.048 inch would be approximately 1.2 mm
Thank you very much sir. Thanks also to the camera person.
Thanks for a sharing a usefull & wonderful video

It would be nice if you told us what you were doing and why.
Thank you!
Daniel hello very beautiful easel like to buy a unit
I live in Brazil as we can negotiate the sending
Ding, someone's at the door. It's the Griswolds, "Hello, my family and I are looking for sechs"
"SCHWEINHUND!!!"
(Door slams!)
Hi may i ask base on what to decide the amount of wood to remove for the bottom between the feet ?? Thanks first
Bravo
I believe it is called a "lumbar marking crayon" for marking the feet of the bridge
Beautiful details!
I am missing you!!
Will a better bridge produce a better vibrato ?
Are most luthiers mute?
Todo bien, sólo el usar un marcador no tan bien, aquí funcionó porque es al parecer un violín lacado estilo chino
What type of crayon are you using to fit the feet? I can't quite read it on my screen.
Staedtler non-permanent Lumocolor
You had 2. It was the other that I couldn't see. It looks like some king of oil crayon.
I come from Hong Kong, I want to know too, I cannot see the brand of the crayon. Please help.
Sehr anschauliches Video - vielen Dank! Frage: Wozu eigentlich nochmal die Kreide nach Fertigstellung des Stegs?
Die Kreide verhindert das Verrutschen des Steges.
Ich werd's mal ausprobieren! Vielen Dank, und noch einen schönen Sonntag! :)
what is the dimensions
I guess we are supposed to read your mind for any information that might be helpful.
Woher weiss ich wie hoch der steg sein muss im Verhältniss zum Griffbrett?
Jonnie Jo h
Great
Where do I buy these tools?
Could make a video in Spanish.
Handel Hacks did he speak?
wow
Perfect, thanks!
Welcher Hobel haben sie verwendet?
Das ist ein kleiner Stanley Hobel. Ich weiss nicht ob es diesen noch gibt. Aber die Firma Kunz hat ein gleiches Modell. Wichtig ist, dass er gut schneidet und die "Sohle" Plan ist.
was machst du
Dana schoen
ブリッジ１つにもこれだけ調整が必要なのか。

There is a clean cloth on the bench. I could not see scratch marks from the pen in the finish?
I would guess German.
Thanks for this great video. I wonder if you have also altered the hearts? Also my violin has a wolf on D string at roughly A note, same with high position on G string. Is there any recommendations on altering the bridge to eliminate it? Thanks very much.
