Yes! I am so excited to step into this repair and make this violin sing again. This one is extra special and I will explain in the next video! Thank you for commenting and hope you have a great week!
I've seen illustrations of old-fashioned dancing masters holding small narrow bodied violins, but did not know that they had their own special name of "pochette". This will be an interesting build to follow, and I'm looking forward to hearing how it sounds. An excellent use for the imperfectly dimensioned wood! I loved the Jenny Lind story.
I thought of you when I read that story and of the beautiful music of Kathleen Ferrier. I am curious too how this little instrument will sound. I am already thinking that if I made another one, I would really change the dimensions even more. I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
Many years later, people will argue if the pochette upper ribs were one piece or not. I always thought a pochette body was extremely narrow, looking less like a violin and more like a French baguette. Nice to see you venture into more fringe instruments. I hope you're starting a trend :)
You are right. They did look like a baguette! I was hoping to make something that would not sound like a baguette! I guess we will see. At least it is a little adventure into the less traveled roads. Thank you for commenting. Your excellently formed hammer keeps me company as I work. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Thank you for the holacos comments non Christin’s are starting to make comments about Christen and Jews now.. I don’t know how close we are to end times. I wish I learn how to repair violins. I am 77 years old. I enjoy your channel thank you. I am sorry I can’t spell.
Hi John, where are you from? I might have asked you before, but you are welcome to stop by. Yes, I believe we are very close. All the signs are here. Thank you for commenting. I appreciate it. I hope you have a great week.
The 'Hebrew Minute' is Lamentations 3:25. The pochette build will be a lot of fun. With the shape you are building it will have a good sound. The black and white portions of the build looked cool. I love hearing Mr. Pinch's organ music, so soothing. Hearing him play and seeing the beautiful stained glass is refreshing - Thank You, sir! Your cello is looking wonderful, Cheryl. Can't wait to hear about the next repair. Stupidicus.
hahaha, laughed at the anecdote of mayerbeer - haha so interesting, esp that ''some'' are read to us.....getting online finally after weeks of ''derth'' i'm happy to once again see your videos... I'm getting a bow sready to send you for rehair, wow, getting mylife interrupted to MOVE and now seetling in again, so a sismlsier life...
Hi Chuck! I will be looking for your bow! Thank you for commenting. I know that moves can be a huge interruption of life, so I am glad you are settling in. Hope you have a blessed week!
Interesting information on the Pochette and it will be fun watching you make it. The blocks you put on first, do they remain part of the ribs? The Hebrew Minute is Lamentations 3:25. I was not really acquainted with it. Can't wait until next week when you have all the surprises! Have a great week!
The blocks are part of the structure of the violin. They will be cut down once I take the ribs off the mold. Thank you for asking. I am so glad that y'all are interested in this build. You got the Hebrew Minute! Thank you! Hope you have a wonderful week!
I see that you made the lower bout from one piece of wood, is this something you do on all of your builds? It certainly looks more visually appealing than a two piece and have often wondered why all violin, violas, cello, etc... aren't built that way. Thanks for sharing!
That is great you noticed that! Usually the wood strips are not long enough to reach all the way around on the full size instruments so we have to split it, which takes a little more work. So it was fun to just use one strip on this little guy! Thanks for commenting and hope you have a wonderful week!
