Graham Buddy ! great answers to great questions buddy . i do hope you know i was not trying to say you did any thing wrong with your antiquing style . it looked wonderful . i love the QNA'S not just because i ask silly questions but because i get to hear other people ask there questions and hear your answers . alot of good questions and who knew there were so many things to ask . i really envy those guys that can make them wish i could myself . but i live vicariously through you and others that i watch on you tube for the most part . have seen some really beautiful work done . like he picture of the violin you showed what a nice piece of art . you im sure realize thats what you guys are making it may play music it is functional art . maybe in 100 years 200 years or more some one will hold up one of your violins violas or so on and say this is a early Graham Vincent from the early 2020's look at the workmanship his eye to detail the love that resonates through the wood . the attention to detail in his varnish . now if you follow me we have a display of some of the tools he used . please dont touch . lol . hey you never know . god bless my friend ill be looking forward to the master class work from master Graham Vincent.
Enjoy your videos. Please provide more detail of how you modify the bridge to assist in final setup/sound modification.
Could you bring in the player(big guy) you had before to do a players comparison of the three new violins you are starting. Interesting to hear the differences considering similar materials are used.
Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume was the name of the French luthier/dealer I was searching for!
Please can you tell me what make the spirit varnish was used on the viola ?
Where did you get it from please :-)
With the horse tail- early in the spring I believe the younger shoots are edible if prepared properly (at least a variety in the west coast North America). They’re still edible later in the summer, but get more and more silica in their stalks to where it wouldn’t be very pleasant at all. I’ve never eaten or used them as sandpaper but we use them camping as a pot scrubber due to their abrasive quality. So I imagine harvested late in the summer/fall might yield something worthwhile for sanding.
I agree with Andy's approach. I'm doing number 9 now and have slowed down and am producing a much higher level of product. Can you comment on treating the inside of the violin. From the CZcams videos some do and some don't. Does it make a difference?
Hi, again, from Louisiana!
I watched a Japanese maker build a cello, and he assembled things way out of order: ribs, linings, front (with f holes and bass bar), remove mold, and then fit and glue the neck. So he was able to set the neck with one less surface to have to get just right, and he could plane the base of the neck in line with the ribs after. (It was sticking out beyond the ribs a cm or so)
Just curious what you think of that that? Have you ever tried something similar?
On the making of ten vs one, my own experience supports the ten. You need to be able to do it wrong, otherwise you get paralyzed. When you’ve done it wrong you can try to get it right next time. Also you might find it wasn’t wrong after all.
I wish I had the time to knock them out like Andy, alas life keeps getting in the way, so I'm forced to take my time on my first one and I can tell you, the mistakes happen anyway! Let's not mention my purfling channel (too wide) or the purfling (look like the corners were cut with a shovel) but I'm enjoying myself and I know that the next few builds will get better.
Luigi Tarisio owned the Messiah but never showed it.
