Peter; Very interesting! I believe you will discover that that highest overtone location near the center of the back plate is the ideal location for the sound post to rest upon (the line across the plate at that position). Good work... David L.
Peter, your videos have help me understand many things that books alone wouldn’t . A big plus when learning violin making as a retirement hobby on my own. Thanks so much again for the time and efforts to put these together. Not an easy task. A bit anxious to complete the one currently on the bench where to the degree I could have applied your method. Looking forward to more videos in the future. Warm thanks from sunny Puerto Rico.
Incredible interesting! So you believe that the purpose of the hole was to be able to do the scratching easier? After you are done with the back (when it sounds as you like), will you fill the hole then? If you do, how does that hole/filling affect the sound?
Am I correct that with this kind of gentle tapping, you listen more to the higher harmonics as opposed to the heavier "knocking" (for adjusting the arch) where you listen for the lower harmonics?
Yes! I put them on because every violinist has a relation to them since they have been around since the 70´s. Some hate them and some love them. If I put on a Zyex or a new Larsen that almost no player has tried, it gets harder to tell what is the string properties and what is the violin. They come to try the string instead of the violin. Beside of that, I think Dominant is a great string that has survived for so long, even though other brands have had some time in the glory and then disappeared into oblivion.
Jag undrar vilken violin model du tillverkar i dina filmer, y din film 22a berättar du att ofta hoiden på locket blir c:a 14. 4 mm, är den en Guarnieri?
The screws he used to attach plates to a board for bench clamping and working were of course hand cut and not that great. Two short, one long at higher arch, on the centerline, that left evidence it was there. I worked my first plates like this and found it clumsy compared to free plates.

Thank you! Best of luck with your instruments!

I don´t find anything that could affect the sound from a tiny plug.

Yes.

Ja det är det.

Sorry, but I don´t understand what you mean.
