Replying to your questions about the bass bar 

A brilliant explanation thank you. It never occurred to me that a separate bass bar is glued in because a carved one has no in-built tension.

As a bassist I had no idea the violin bass bar was called "bass bar" as well 😂 and now I know why it is called so, thank you!

Wonderful explanation, Maestro, and very informative! I have been eagerly awaiting your videos on your new schedule, and I'm always happy to see your posts. :)

Maestro Kimon you and Olaf have inspired me to learn violin making. I'm slowly gathering tools and teaching myself by your videos.

My opinion as a repairman: The word "EASY" is never used when building or repairing a quality instrument. Thank You for Sharing your knowledge!

In one of the violas I've seen, there are three bass bars. Can you tell me something about the practice of using multiple bass bars in string instruments

This is tangent to the conversation here but do you have any videos (or could you make one) on how to properly clean a violin that’s quite dirty and how to repair some of the varnish that’s been work away?

I think the bass bar must be just right in my violin, because it has a very vocal G string.

Has anyone experimented with very small thin bracing bars that go across the grain of the top? This may help the vibration of the strings transmit sound across the grain as well as along the grain, as with a guitar for instance. It would also help resist the cracking of the top which is such a common occurance on older violins.

There is winter here, so I will going to enjoy the snow this weekend.

Ευχαριστούμε πολύ Κίμων!!¡!

great video! could you also do a video on how to clean your bowhair? I love your channel and appreciate the work you put in this channel!
