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!
jai un chevalier inclinee tendue a cause de leur durie de temps. quand jai positioner et je tendue les cords . il descende. que dois je le fairepour reparer car il est un micro integrer tres chere ? merci
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?
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.
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.
