Thanks. Have a new tool, and you giving the string clearance measurements helped understand what these markings were for. Timeless advice. Also got a device like yours to raise the strings, and then take out the bridge. Never saw that tool before last month. Been playing/working on violins for over 60 years years. Have assembled parts to make a violin (front/back/sides/etc), Never saw these tools. Thanks again.
Fascinating I had no idea the amount of artistic design went into the bridge I have to go look at mine now. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and expertise. Subbed and hit the alarm. Cheers from Alberta Canada
This is what is wonderful about Youtube. Being able to watch a master work. And a master having the ability to share his skills. Thank you for teaching and inspire future masters.
Thank you for sharing. I can’t afford a luthier but my extremely cheap used instrument has an awful bridge. I have woodworking tools and can’t really make it worse so I’m having a go at improving it. I’ve watched loads of luthiers and have a good idea what I should do. Thanks again.
Very nice work, one little hint incase someone tries it themselves, I put a sticky note under tailpiece while I work to protect finish. Then pull sticky note when done.
