Terrible music 😔
Can this shoulder rest be angled/tilted sideways? Having tried every adjustment I can with my current rest, I really feel that it would suit my shoulder better if a rest could be angled. This would create more of a bracing effect against the end of my shoulder and hopefully prevent the slippage I feel when pressing the strings. I find the rigid level flatness of the standard shoulder rests to be a far less than optimum feature. I am struggling to source one with this kind of adjustment option.
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.
What’s that tube for?

Thanks for the demo!
i can not see what your cutting = BAD VIDEO !

I bought new bow and it got bent within one month how to fix it?
What do you think of the new violin carbon fiber bridges? They are supposed to give more sustain
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately we have not yet worked with any carbon fiber bridges, so would not be in a position to pass opinion.
french is not good quality
Thank you very mach
ভায়োলিন ছাড়া বক্স বিক্রি হয়
Thank you. Good to see how to cover all the bases 😊
I got this at a clearence price of 50$ and I cannot tell how happy I am with them. I tried Pro-Arté and Tzigane but they do not compare to the original gut. The only lack is I cannot get a fff sound with them, for this probably one has to go with Eudoxa-stiff.
Whilst obviously skilled with your hands, your mouth could use a bit of education; there is no such word as "heighDth" (I emphasized the D, which shouldn't be there, on purpose). The word you need help with is "height." No D or final th are required.
I recently started playing my viola after some 10 years of absence. It has a brand new bow, strings, sound post and bridge. I've rejoined my local orchestra, which is pure joy, except for one problem; When I try to play either the lowest (C) string or the next lowest (G) on its own, my bow causes the adjacent string to sound. I believe that the bridge needs a little more curvature where it supports the G and C strings. Is this a common issue? Can I do this kind of work myself? I have been a fully accredited and highly skilled piano tuner-technician for the past 50 years.
Question : In making the bridge what is your goal for the sound of the violin? When you get one in place do you then realize you took off to much or you should keep reshaping it? What is the optimal shape of a bridge? If it sound to Toney what needs to be done? Thanks

I had no idea. This is a work of art! The bridge sets a lot of instruments apart. After I had mine fitted , it felt like the violin was made for me.
Is there any advantage in removing the fine tuner screws on the G, D and A strings, for an integrated tail piece?
It's very wonderful and right on time. The bridge on this violin is too flat and makes single string play difficult. Thank you.
is terrifying watching you do all that without a neck rest.. thank you though, i learned a lot.
Thank you so much. This is exactly the information I needed and you have explained it so clearly!
Vai bag ta koy pabo??
thankyou so much for this looks just what i need
Could one put some light oil on the fingerboard?
you mentioned that the whole thing is done by knife. why is this? I see there is a tool with a wheel for clamping the bridge and sanding the feet down in situ. is this a reasonable way to do it as well?
Terrible product. My son has had three, and all fall off despite hours adjusting, reading the Manuel and watching the instruction videos, taking them to master luthiers in Chicago, and to master veteran violin teachers. My son has been embarrassed and demoralized as this rest has fallen off during concerts for which he was the concert master, during a concerto competition, and during lessons and practice.
Phew, found the mute button. Why not have string music with a string advertisement? Maybe describe the item instead? The sax was very annoying.
Wow excelente trabajo dignos de un verdadero artesano, todo el trabajo de rebaje de los pis, corazón y orejas tienen algún efecto final en el sonido?
nice video. may i ask what's the title of the music in your background?
❤
Clear as mud.
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.
❤
Yes but when you put the straps ON... How does it stand on the table... Probably as wobbly as Air
Do the geared pegs have any effect on the sound of the instrument? Logically, I seems that they would not, but traditional fine tuners do change the sound, in my experience, so I thought I'd get an opinion.
Too lengthy video not necessary 😢
Very clear!
Does it have space for a bonmusica shoulder rest?
Thanks for the demonstration but 'plastic hinges riveted on' is not what I call good and strong, particularly given the relative high pricing. A popped rivet in drop test in another video highlighted this point.
Great video! My peg holes measure 7.53mm to 7.61mm. Should I go with the smaller or larger pegs?
Hey there! I noticed you referred to this as a 'violin bridge', but from what I can see, it appears to have a flatter profile, which is more characteristic of a fiddler's bridge. The classical violin bridges I've come across usually have a more pronounced curve. I recently had a luthier make a bridge for my violin with this flatter curve, similar to what you're showing. Just wanted to clarify and see if you have any insights or information about this. Thanks!
Maybe I need something like that - my violin is pretty old, and the pegs are slipping as the holes for the pegs are becoming worn from years of use. I had new pegs fitted in 1963, and now that they are slipping again, maybe the old method of plugging and re-reaming the peg holes could be supplanted by this? after all, they look indistinguishable from ordinary ebony pegs. Peg paste is no longer working on the older violin, so I have switched to the newer violin. Will the Wittner pegs fit when a violin's peg holes have become larger?
Thanks: pleSe keep posted: learning slowly: bye
Amazing work!
