And what about Viola?

@KADCR 10 месяцев назад

1/6 like he said. Jus do math

@davidfife4855 11 месяцев назад

Edgar, have you tried the carbon-fiber tailgut? I read that one of carbon fiber's alleged benefits is not stretching like regular tailgut.

@artesanowd8294 11 месяцев назад

what about Viola?

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

Exactly the same! The distance should be 1/6 of the total string length!

@matheusbrondolo 11 месяцев назад

What about the size of the tailpiece?

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

Good point! If you have the possibility to choose take the shorter one. Just because that gives you the opportunity to adjust without length obstacle issues!

@gerardoguerrieri1138 17 дней назад

Which notes should we hear playing the strings between the bridge and the tailpiece? Can it be a clue about a good setting of the violin?

@Husn-E-Ghazal 6 месяцев назад

1/6 the of 32.8 equals 5.46666 not 54.6666, please elaborate how your calculated it ?

@davidcudlip6587 5 месяцев назад

54.66 mm. He converted to millimeters on the smaller measurement.

@orenburg6318 10 месяцев назад

What considerations do you take if you have fine tuners, or no fret on the tailpiece? Should we just use the 54.66….mm length to the end of the string?

@Zaphitos 10 месяцев назад

I believe the idea behind all of this is that every tone also produces overtones. And the frequency of overtones are always whole multiple of the fundamental frequency. That's why you take 1/6 and not e.g. 1/6,3 ;-) So long story short: if your tailpieces doesn't have a fret I guess you should get one with fret :D The fret is just there to make the distance more accurate.

I would love to own one of his violins. I’m not ready yet, still a rank beginner…

@terria1254 8 месяцев назад

Thank-you Edgar, excellent video and explanations! All the best to you 😃🎻

@billwitmer4220 Месяц назад

Does anyone have any info on a Franz Sandner Model FS803 violin.

@LinneaManning-l7x 11 месяцев назад

Im also interested in how to adjust a harp style tailpiece.

@SureshG-mu4ep Месяц назад

55 mm Don't agree

@karatefuman 11 месяцев назад

Great video as usual. I am also very curious about adjusting a harp tailpiece?

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

I will keep my 👀 open and as soon I have one I will make. A video about it! 👌🏼

@pauljmeyer1 10 месяцев назад

As usual, most informative.

@richardcarter5314 11 месяцев назад

I have just measured my violin, 32.8cm and 5.4cm. Amazing! My violin , which is Chinese built, has been built with skill, but skill has not been built into it.

@peterspagnolo2505 Месяц назад

what does that mean exactly?

@mostafaabdelnabi5829 11 месяцев назад

Thank you from Egypt

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

@mohamednizar590 10 месяцев назад

MR.EDGAR, WHAT SHOULD BE THE EXACT DISTA CE BETWEEN TAIL PIECE AND BRIDGE AND ALSO THE DISTANCE BETWEEN BRIDGE TO THE NUT? PLS ANSWER

@davidcudlip6587 5 месяцев назад

Thought he went over all that in the video?

@renshimarek 6 месяцев назад

1:25 32,8 cm (Menzura to odległość od progu na którym opiera się struna do mostka (podstawka)gdzie też się struna opiera przy skrzypcach 4/4 to 327 mm.) ?

@SeasickSailor76 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for another informative video! Quick question... what about harp-style tailpieces? What would be the optimal distance for them?

@SeasickSailor76 11 месяцев назад

PS Yes, I'm aware people do not like them that much. I suspect you're not a fan either as you do not seem to use them.

@edgarruss6349 11 месяцев назад

Yes you are right! I am not a big fan since it changes a lot but most o the times not to a better and more open sound. But they change! So in case you don’t like how your violin sounds than put it on and you will obtain a different sound which is “better” 😅

@cynthiabennett8739 5 месяцев назад

Edgar, Would you please, at some point, address the end-length of cello strings (harp tailpiece?) I’m a cellist and interested. I did take your recommendation and got a Bender endpin and LOVE it! Thank you!!!!

@1cleandude 7 месяцев назад

Thanks Edgar for your help and expertise!! Can you tell us exactly what aspect of tone does the after length affect! IE does it decrease or increase finger spacing for notes played? Thanks again!🙏🙏🙏

@stevenwoodham8098 11 месяцев назад

Thanking you from Jamaica 🇯🇲

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your msg! 👋🏼

@sayoldman1093 10 месяцев назад

Edgar, are there adjustments that might increase the projection of a violin? Maybe you have a video on this? Thank you! JL

@jorge-manuel-fernandes 8 месяцев назад

Hi Edgar, what are the correct measurements for a cello? Thank's a lot

@NDMrtVideos 10 месяцев назад

In the clips at the end of this video- is that a mineral ground being applied? Is there a video discussing this?

@ΓιανναΒιολεντη 11 месяцев назад

Hi,thnx for the great helpful videos... Q:in the case that we have a wolf sound is better to try different type of tailpiece to keep the correct distance? Or that will not make the difference? I've try the thomastic otto tailpiece were it has a wonderful shape (4 fine tuners) and i am very happy with it,but i can not find to by the same now for my second instrument...

@EdgarRuss 11 месяцев назад

Probably it’s a better solution to reduce the distance to change the wolf tone. But actually if you want to change the tailpiece that would be an ideal moment to do so!

@familiedronkers2305 11 месяцев назад

Thank you very much for all your great insights! I have an old violin and the dimensions are not standard. When I tune the afterlength of the G-string to one octave higher than an open D string, then I get a very good result. This happens to be close to the 5.47 mm you specify, but not exactly.

@edgarruss6349 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for your kind feedback!😅

@TNungesser 10 месяцев назад

When I divide 32.8 by 6 I get 5.4666666 not 54.66666. If it came to be 54.66666 the distance between the bridge and tailpiece would be greater than the distance from the nut to the bridge.

@orenburg6318 10 месяцев назад

5.466 cm = 54.66 mm

@TNungesser 10 месяцев назад

@@orenburg6318 right. But why not divide 328 by 6?
