I cannot find enough words to express my gratitude for showing us how you create such an amazing piece of art! Truly an amazing person!

Maestro Sora. I have learned many, many techniques from this video

Davide Sora you are an extraordinary model of luthier, congratulation to you...

This is incredibly inspiring and infinitely helpful. This is a surgical ballet with wood, utterly beautiful. I am currently carving my first scroll, and, well, it looks like it’s being carved with a meat cleaver while blindfolded by comparison.

Grazie Mastro per essere disponibile, nessuno é cosi.

What a fantastic video ...certanly the best use of 15 minutes of my time today. Thank you.

Complimenti maestro!! Questo ricciolo e' straordinario!! Grazie mille per condividerlo con noi!! ❤️🥇❤️👏🏻👏🏻

Beautiful work!

The importance of sharp tools never ends. Beautiful mirror-finish sharpness!

Wow.. just wow. Thanks for taking the time to make and share this amazing vision.

Such beautiful precise craftsmanship. Bravo!

Sencillamente ; Los vídeos de David, son los mejores en cuanto a construcción de violín. Felicitaciones Maestro !!

Thank you maestro Sora for this great demonstration of your beautiful craftsmanship.

By golly, I think he's done this before! Beautiful, and amazing!

Thank you for your time and expertise in leaving your video for those wishing to absorb and create the past, for the future interests of the world that may be repeated for the next generations to follow the lost arts sadly disappearing, but kept alive by people like yourself showing others your skills.Cheers.

A master Luthier is known by how well the scroll is carved in relationship to the golden ratio. You are a master carver!. I am a retired professional violist and loved watching this. If only I could fine a maker that would hollow out the neck and make the front and back plates thinner. This would result in a lighter instrument and a more responsive "boxy" sounding instrument. Both are hallmarks of the great instruments!

Beautiful work. The control with the chisels is impressive.

Tocco di mano leggero come il battito di ali di una farfalla Straordinaria maestria nella manualità degli utensili... Bravo

At 6.15 I used a mirror to watch the saw position at the far side. The eyes movement makes that risky operation much safer . It`s all like walking on a tightrope . Lovely video .

Maestro come Lei non c'è nessuno!!! I video da Lei fatti dimostrano una maestria senza eguali. Complimenti non mi stanco mai di guardarli e riguardarli. È come contemplare un Leonardo da Vinci all'opera. Grazie infinite.

Thank you David for helping me make better scrolls!

TNX for posting this beautifully carved scroll !!!

The scroll has always been something of a mystery to me, not that I've ever made one. I'll leave this to the artisans. I'm happy to watch excellence...

Beautiful video, and beautiful craftsmanship! This video was actually instrumental for me when I carved my first [successful] scroll! It shows the steps in such a concise way. Thank you for it!

That’s some CRAZY woodworking skills!

Grazie Maestro, é stato meraviglioso vedere la sua arte, trasmette molte antiche emozioni e mille grazier per aver condiviso la sua arte personale. senza parole….

rimango ogni volta stupito,la padronanza degli attrezzi, le sue mani che "obbediscono" a quello che la testa pensa,nulla viene per caso o per tentativo.maestro con la M maiuscola!

Hard-work, talent, knowledge, skills, and great tools! Stunning work!

Thank you for making all of these wonderful videos! I enjoy watching them as I practice repeated violin fingerings and memorized passages. I find it inspiring, meditative and also wonderous to watch. GREAT work!

Very nice

Complimenti anche per musica.

Qué trabajo tan hermoso! ❤❤❤

incredible

This is beautiful. So inspiring thankyou.

Brilliant Craftsman Thank you.

Amazing talent and patience! Just imagine, one "oops" moment and you can start over.

Very interesting video! Straight to the point and instructional, and that's without mentioning the impressive end result. I'm currently making my first violin. The scroll carving is going better than expected, but your video makes me think I could find more precise and useful chisels. I only have small ones and it's difficult to avoid doing some irregularities...

Wow beautiful work and beautiful flame on the scroll and peg box

Thanks for following your calling; beautiful work!!🙏🏻

Master luthier with 30yrs is selling out. Everything from books to wood. Award winner. Varnish..oil and spirit, glue, hand and finger planes, serious only

Very inspiring videos. Just watching them makes me think about trying to build a violin of my own

L`importanza di questo lavoro,quello di mostrarci la eleganza del taglio , il metodo sicuro di lavorare , la possiamo aprezzare solo seguendo questa base solida per trovare il nostro stile personale. Grazie Maestro !

Absolutely beautiful.

Incantato da tanta arte e da tanta bellezza oltre che da tanta maestria!

Belleza.

Beautiful work. I would love to learn and start making violins.

Thank you for sharing your skills🌺

Que talento.......... Maestro

Beautifully elegant!

Arte hecho con amor. Art made with love.

Masterful!

Hermosa voluta! Mi máxima admiración al luthier.

very nice video, thank you sharing

ART OF PRECISION .. , ADMIRABLE ...

beautiful work

Bravo majstore

gorgeous!

Hats off!

Congratulation. Thank you . It was really a gift to me.

Magnifico lavoro, e bel video! grazie

Beautiful work!! I am working on building a violin and I am very nervous aabout this part.

Beautiful!

art is part of Italian DNA

Poi si chiedono perché un violino fatto da un liutaio conosciuto nello specifico campo costi tanto. I miei complimenti sig. Sora

Muito bom too de mais

Wery Good frend super

Perfect symbiosis between mathematical science and mastery. The effect is a perfect musical instrument. Watching his videos is like watching a wonderful movie. comment by a Restorer of wooden works

Such a beautiful thing. Thanks for sharing & inspiring.

Fantastic!

amazing

Very excellent workmanship! Its beyond me how the 36 idiots put a thumbs down, never mind them. They are pathetic people who have to cut down others to make themselves seem better! It takes me 4 to 5 hours to do the entire neck, 5 days to do the entire violin. I'm about to make an electric contra upright bass. It will have a very huge scroll, which should be so easy to do. The total playable string length is going to be a wopping 66 inches, and will sure do some good low notes! I do everything by hand also and avoid all power tools, they cut too quick and screw things up. I only use a power tool to cut a big block of wood to a smaller one. You do very great work, so never mind the 36 morons!!!

I can't help but notice how incredibly sharp and 'flat ' your chisels are.... any pointers on getting a mirror edge onto a gouge? Readings? Video? I've gotta get myself a strop...

Восхищен. Прошу прощения за ссылки на мой канал. Удачи.

complimenti maestro!

Máster , hermoso

Dear Davide, thank you for these incredible videos. I noticed you use the divider and circles at many points in the process, but I am most curious what ratios you use for the second turn of the scroll (the video just showed a second of this). Right now I am struggling to mark the second turn of my scroll neatly, and I’d like to find a more organized method. Thank you!

My god look at that wood grain 🤤

beautiful video !!!professional job!!!I have a question !!!watt kind of wood is this that you work???

Is all the wood for a violin old growth chosen to insure tight grain structure? What species is chosen for the scroll?

Wonderful job. But, could you tell us how long for finishing that job from scratch?

Eccezionale!!!!

amazing work!!! how many scrolls have you made in your life ?? to reach this masterie ??? greetings !! and keep this beautiful art!

I'm very interested in the small saw that was used. Where can I find one?

When you use a bandsaw for this, does it automatically become a scroll saw?

Do you find that finishing the scroll is better? If so, is it that it provides more stability for the neck during the process?

Can You do this same video but dub out the music so I can hear My favorite music of the tools working the wood?

Hi, I would love to see how you made your template. I’m a novice maker, and haven’t seen a better one yet. Thanks for sharing

🍒

Really nice!! I was wondering what size of the gouges(width and sweep) you used in this video?

Great Job, all your videos are very useful and relaxing! Can you send me you scroll scrapers templates please.

0:59 what is the instrument who do "dooooooooo-dooooooo.." in the second plan?

Davide. Ciao. Cordiali saluti. Grazie per l'informazione. Hai calcolato quanto pesa un braccio senza tastiera e con tastiera alla fine? Grazie per la risposta in anticipo.

any measurements by chance? practicing on scrolls myself and would love to get some kind of starting ground for things like cellos and uprights

Thank you for these amazing videos. Please tell me what sizes and sweeps of gouges you use for carving the scroll. I would like to buy a set and I need a good starting point. For far, I like the short handled ones. Thank you, Maestro.

amazing……… which wood are you using ?

David, could you provide the source for your small detail saw?

are those scrapers hand formed or is there a place to buy them? thanks another great video

Is that a Del Gesu style scroll? Which pattern do you use most, or is it client preference?

Hello, what brand of tools are those, I personally use pfeil, what do you think?
