As a violinist, I’m very impressed by what you made. Sure, there are quite a few things when it came to the setup of the instrument that irked me, but otherwise, it’s amazing. It looks amazing too, I honestly would like to try the instrument myself
As a violinist i have to say there is many mistakes in the woodturning, from sanding the wood to the thickness of the wood, but thinking this is a first atempt, the job is'nt bad at all. Please, continue learning.
As a violinist I think he did well except the scroll and f holes weren't as perfect and the tuning I think he did wrong it sounded out if tune when he tried tuning it and then played it
You did a nice job. However! You should have chose a wood with a straight grain. The front and back were too thick. You don’t need those extra strips you put on the ribs. You did an awful thing by using wood glue. You must use hide glue! After all of that wonderful work, why didn’t you use hide glue? One will never be able open that violin again. After all of that work, if it ever needs to be repaired it will not be able to be opened. If you used hide glue. You can then open it and even fix some of the things I said above. You can still thin it out to get more projection, etc. A real violin must always be glued with hide glue. All of the parts and wood can be swapped and upgraded. It’s in the design. You can’t even replace the figerboard if you wanted. Also, traditionally. The finish is First, clear varnish, then color, the dark varnish last. This is done to lock the wood away from any color absorbing into the wood. Once again so even the finish can be changed later on. And to keep the wood separate from the finish itself. Only that first layer of really clear varnish mush go into the wood. I wish you spoke to a luthier or someone first. To tell you these vital things first. Because what you did was amazing and those small things rendered it up fixable and somewhat ruined with no hope.
Tremendous first effort. Absolutely great for someone working on their own without the help of a violin maker. I hope you make a second one out of tone woods; spruce top, maple ribs and back. Research plate thicknesses and how to tune them. I'm sure you figured out by now that when you buy a bridge, they aren't finished and the action was way high. Details to sort out, but you are definitely talented.
It is a pretty violin but the finish looks like shit though. Applying it with a spray gun instead of a paintbrush would save a lot of sanding which it didnt get.
I've seen 2 violins made of. other than spruce ..walnut and red cedar. , now 3; pretty instrument this one...I'm not expert famous player.... skeptical if this unique will start a trend. Tapping comparison to spruce would be interesting to hear..pretty instrument nonetheless less
@@UpcomingJediwe don’t use spray brushes to apply the varnish, instead we will brush the varnish on with a brush or sometimes if we’re feeling lazy our finger (with a glove on) this way we can have really good control over how much paint/ pigment we mix into the varnish, and where it goes when we apply it. We also apply one layer at a time, sanding (gently) between each layer so as only to remove high points, and with fine enough grit that it leaves a matte finish no scratch marks. And we apply 3 to 5 depending on weather or not we’re using an oil or spirit varnish. Spirit dries faster but is considered cheep and oil is used on any professional instrument. (Although maybe some other luthier has tried and uses an air brush, idk) Things kinda just take a while and a lot of elbow grease in the luthier profession. These are all generalizations and there are exceptions of course, but the above is generally the way our community does things.
For your first violin, it was pretty good. I’m not any sort of violin expert, but I have been playing it for as long as I can remember. You did make the front piece a little too thick, which can cause less vibration to echo from the violin resulting in a quieter sound, and instead of white glue, good violins are crafted with rabbit hide clue so it’s easier to remove for service, and the chin rest has too thick of a base from where it stems. You need to glue two triangular pieces of wood together when your making the back and front. Other than that, it’s good.

@@DMarkAgostinelli you're making a number of assumptions about how easily/accessible materials and expertise are for him. whether or not this is ever "fixable" for him is a matter for him to decide. this is a first work and, while i saw things he could have done differently even with the tools he used to have a little more finesse overall, that it's as playable as it seems to be in the end is a marvelous outcome. far better than my own tools and skills could probably do as it stands. no, this is nowhere near a masterwork instrument but it works and based on his comments elsewhere, a learning step. chill out.
It looks very nice! Another tip, use clothes pins for clamping the linings! I also recommend a dremmel tool for carving. However, when I make violins, everything is hand carved. The ONLY time I use a power tool is to cut a big block of wood to a smaller one. I use chisels and a 1/2" violin makers plane to do all carving. Power tools can really cut fast and ruin your work! You also need a dial depth gauge to set the thickness of the wood. Then do the thunk testing of the plates and make one plate resonate at E, and the other at F. You MUST tune the wood to these resonate frequencies otherwise the violin will sound like pure crap. The difference between plates causes BFO to occur and makes the plates really shake better. The ONLY things that I dont make are the strings, but everything else I do. I just recently made a 6'6" electric double bass!!! Its string length is so long that it makes an electric bass guitar seem high in frequencies! Anyhow, I like your video very much!!! Keep at it! Get the violin making book by HS Wake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm an electric guitar player and also love violins, though I don't play them. But I have a very old violin from the end of the 19th century that belonged to my grandfather and in need for a restoration. I need to buy some pieces that are missing, but didn't know anything about them. So, your wonderful and highly instructive video was very useful to me and, over and above all, showed me the high complexity of making a hand made violin. Thank you very, very much and best regards !
I have been playing for 28 years at writing and recently started thinking about what I would need to do to learn how to become a luthier. This is the first video I've ever watched of this kind of thing and helps me to understand some of the process. Thank you for being willing to demonstrate this with all its imperfections and all! 🎻🎶✨
there are many videos LIKE THISI one, but few videos done by true ''makers'' who have BEEN TRAINED (HANDS ON) BY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN- this is BY THE BOOK but the real skilkl is in learning the nuances OF THE CRAFT and making the violin andn the time you spend on it, truly a fine instrument worty to be played and even listened to by other musicians / players
@@margoils Sure, and people don't always know what they don't know until they start from somewhere. Not everyone was born an expert or with the tools of the trade. We all start from somewhere.
@@becomethesea yes, and if you wanted to do brain surgery, (similar to being a fine maker of string instruments) you'd get trained CORRECTLY from the beginning, unless you're under 12 years of age... so many people learn to drive a car without instruction . or play piano -self taught- or play an instrument - self taught, or raise children or dogs without any experience or training from experts, and they truly believe they DON'T NEED TOI BE LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, i totally know this kind of mindset... i see it all the time in the orchestra where a player is trying to play in an orchestra without any adequate skills for the music
@@margoils yeah you are perfect at analogies! comparing doing brain surgery where if you don't do it perfectly someone might die to making a violin without proper woods or training because it sounds like a fun project that doesn't hurt anyone is a perfectly reasonable comparison!
If everyone knew how easy it really was Stradivari would be out of job! Kidding of course, there is much more to building even a decent violin but this project shows that it's not impossible to build a playable VSO. That's a great experience for anyone interested in "violin science". However, be prepared for some tools and materials spendings.
First of all… Supper impressed.👍👍 Some info and tips for you. Most violins are made with two pieces of wood glued together at the center (this is almost exclusively the case for the top) but sometimes the back is a single piece. Most violins are made from quarter sawn wood (again the top is always quarter sawn) but sometimes the back is slab cut. Slab is less common and when graduating the back plate the center thickness needs to be left about a millimeter thicker than with quarter sawn in order for it to not have a negative impact on the sound projection. So in general the top plate should be a two piece quarter sawn Spruce 3mm thick throughout (can be slightly thicker around the edges where it meets up with the ribs and blocks), and the back should be quarter sawn Maple at about 5 mm in the center gradually getting thinner to 3mm at the bottom and top in consecutive rings, leave the entire narrow midsection of the back at 5mm and then thin out from there. (For slab it the midsection would be about 6 to 5.5mm thick but still fade to 3mm at the top and bottom). When setting the neck you actually cut away some of the rib that is touching the top block and carve a slightly recessed area into the block, this way you are glueing the neck to more than just the ribs, but rather you have 4 sides to glue the neck to. Where the scroll meets the fingerboard it looked like you left that with hard corners, those should be rounded so playing is more comfortable (although it should have little affect on the sound) the bocks can be either pine (make sure it is really old and dry so it doesn’t warp) or if you have some Willow also works, for linings pine and spruce work but willow is easiest (if available, but it is also more expensive). If you don’t have access to Spruce or Maple, redwood top and cherry back are decent substitutes, but not commonly used as spice and maple are better. I have also seen some instruments substitute the top for cedar (easy to play but sounds punchy) and the back for oak but it sounds really tubby :( I think I’ve also heard of a viola that had a willow top but I can’t remember if I heard that right, if so I’d assume the top would be a little bit thicker maybe my 0.5 mm? But idk. As far as varnish goes I believe it is made of turpentine, linseed oil, and amber, probably some paint driers too, however I don’t make my own because it’s dangerous. The process produces a heavy gas that is flammable. If done inside it would float down to my boiler and heater, the pilot light would catch the gas and my house would burn down. So I just buy from a different maker who knows what He is doing. He makes it outside, but it’s also its own art and I haven’t felt the need to get into that. Some good tools for making the plates the right thickness are small finger planes. The small raised section at the top of the finger board needs small grooves for the strings, but only about 1/3 of the depth of the string. Rub graphite (normal pencil lead is fine) into the groove for lubrication. The bridge also needs 1/3 grooves with graphite, and the E string should have a small, 0.5 mm thin piece of plastic between it and the bridge in order to prevent the E from diving through the bridge over time. Over all I am quite impressed with your work for being self taught and your first attempt. I admit there were a few moments where I cringed at approaches you took (like the powered abrasive disc) but you made a functioning first attempt and it for what it is, turned out well. The wood is a very pretty choice (although not very resonant) and the shape is well done. Also the scroll was especially well done given your limited tools and lack of experience. Scrolls are incredibly difficult so good job 👍 Here is a great example of technique for scroll carving (although it does just take some time and practice) th-cam.com/video/6WLFJJTf9wM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=l3IESLs0Oh4WMDcw (I had to through away my first three attempts before I made something useable) Also here is a link to International Violin. They have pretty much anything you will need to make a violin, viola Cello, or Bass. Good luck 👍
The other day I was thinking about luthiery and wondered if it might be possible to utilize present technology to (near) perfectly replicate a real Stradivarius. The approach I envisioned was to miniaturize a 3D scanner to fit the port of the violin to internally scan the entirety of the interior's topography. From the 3D scan, a tool path could be formed for a CNC machine to recreate the physical form down to the slightest scratch. Tests of the wood's moisture content would give you the target content of the formed pieces, so that they could be dried to the same. Then, with final assembly you would theoretically have a perfect replica that has been aged to present condition. I think it would be a fantastic experiment. It would be fun to record and compare the sound waveforms from the original and the replica.
Almost no strads are original anyway, they were not meant to play with metal strings so were modified, as well as being changed to fit modern playing styles
@@gary24752 Not "no success", that's typically where plans for great instruments come from. It just doesn't sound exactly like a 300 year old instrument, for the reasons already mention.
Absolutely non realistic. Many tried! First, you can't condition wood to even 50 years by just moisture content. Then, each piece of wood is so unique, there's no way to copy one even great violin, and expect similar quality sound. The greatness of those masters was, they could make the best of each particular set of wood pieces. And even choose best combination of this very piece of spruce with that very piece of maple. You can't computerize this
This made the process of violin making like it was building a wardrobe or an outdoor chair. There is a lot more to it than is shown here. I wish it was as easy as this.
10/10 for giving it a go. Im making my first violin using the same instruction guide. I think doing what you did will prepare you well for the next go with proper wood etc. My experience is that with every step you not only have to learn a few tricks, you also have to learn how to use the tools and how to sharpen them properly. Joining the maple pieces for the back plate for instance - try to plane them for a good fit by hand, not easy. Please post your next project.
Sure I will. As you just said, I learned a lot of things by doing this work. This is the first time I’m working on wood too. I have plans to build a better one using Right wood, right glue (hide), right tools, correct thickness, best varnish, and a purfling. With out the guide this wouldn’t be possible. I’m once again thanking them for creating that. Thanks to you too for taking the time to watch my work. Love ❤️ New Physicist
@@newphysicist There's a problem with the link you provided. I get the error message "Connect to network The network that you are using may require you to visit its log-in page."
Good workmanship, if you already have that skill, luthiery is just a few steps away. I also love few comments above directing you to right resources and what key things to look out for. Simply awesome
Ooh, you need those indentations on the f holes to know where to put the bridge... that's very important, certainly can't skip that and carve it on later as you personally see fit. Well, you didn't even align the bridge with the f hole indentations so it doesn't even matter. Also, you didn't put the bridge protectors on the strings and the strings in the peg box looked really sloppily put on. But that G doesn't even seem to have a ball end. The violin wasn't even in tune at the end of the video. Great effort, but a bit more research would have helped immensely.
generally you want a softer wood with a finer grain for the front plate for best sound generation - great tutorial it is a labour of love! I have only restored and repaired violins but have started to carve the back and curve the ribs on my first one with my Grandpa years ago, might have to revisit and complete the project!
I am a luthier apprentice, your violin has many faults, it is not correct to work with a sander to dig the vaults of the violins. You need to use a plane and measure each thickness, the table and back are too thick. The reversal is also not good, the height of the strings is much too high which does not allow a good playing of the instrument, there is no poiriette (rocking of the key so that it is higher in the bass) and the bridge is not dutout recut which gives an unpleasant sound. The pegs and the nut are not adjusted or cut correctly, and above all, you must use hot glue for assembly and never white glue or modern glue, because a good instrument is above all an instrument which can be easily disassembled. In short, for a first try, it's a good job, but it does not respect the crucial rules of lutherie
Yes, I’m well aware of all the mistakes I did which you sited here. This is my first #woodworking project and I’m planning to do it again the right way. Correct thickness using a calliper, hide glue, best varnish, right wood. I had no idea about violins before. After making I learned a lot from people like you. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
@@pdsCV uhh pretty sure it was a well made constructive criticism. People learn from mistake and the guy takes it as a positive thing too. Since now, he know where he needs to improve on and make a much more awesome sounding violin. Anyway nonetheless your comment indicates your worry of the uploader self esteem, so pretty sure he will appreciate your comment as well. What I'm trying to say is not all critics indicates they hate the uploader. Some like these are very helpful.
@@newphysicist good to know that you are aware of that. for me, it was the title of the video that bothered me, because people could assume thats how violins are usually made. but thats not to say that you arent a good woodworker. so have fun and explore.
Extra tip: around the peg box is something called a “nut” and the nut also has groves indented into it so that way the strings have a place to sit in when they come out of the peg box. But honestly- this was so cool to watch! Makes me wanna try to make one in my uncle’s work shop. 😊
In the "Testing" Part, I know what scale he was playing! The harmonic minor scale. Great job! It looks great. (Practice and violin lessons make perfect!)
Video sensacional! Obviamente não é um violino para fins profissionais, mas é apaixonante ver o processo de se fabricar um instrumento a mão, e parabéns! Que belo instrumento
I love it, the only thing I would add is when sanding the plates, checking the tunning of each specific part (somehow xd) that is what gives big sound to the instrument (and a good varnish helps too)
That’s really cool! I would make a violin, but I have no experience in woodworking. I play the double bass, so I usually play with violins in a orchestra. Your playing is sounding great! Don’t worry, you will get better the more you practice!
Eu achei lindo seu violino, lógico que a cada trabalho executado você irá descobrindo formas mais práticas de se executar melhor o mesmo trabalho. Parabéns. Estive ao lado de luthier na Itália e me lembrou muito o seu trabalho. Vá em frente, não desanime, crie seu próprio jeito develaborsr um bom violino. Você leva jeito, nunca desanime.
Wow awesome DIY project!!! 👏👏👏 Just some tips, you may adjust/carve the bridge lower if you think your string height is too high. For playing, you may use a shoulder rest. Or with your amazing handcraft skills, you could probably DIY it too. Shoulder rest will help you carry the weight of the violin through your chin and shoulder, your left hand will be free and will not "grip" the fingerboard.
Hey dude, this is really cool! Ignore all of the toxic comments from the idiots criticising your DIY Violin your playing of scales! Thanks to your video I actually started building my own mould today! As for the idiots.... I didn't realise that there were so many professional luthiers on TH-cam!? You made a violin and managed to play it after only a few lessons! You should be very proud of yourself and your skills, keep practising and doing your thing. The people criticising you are only jealous because they dont have the skills or talent to do what you did here!!! Great work and thanks for the insipiration! :)
Yes just ignore the bad critics. They are many master luthiers here and they will ask you to go back to the traditional methods. I am really inspired by your modern ways of using power tool. I am thinking of making my first violin this year... yes using electric jigsaw an grinder. I will still use hide glue though.
@@emerald7761 I can make sounds come out of my violin that don't hurt the ears of those around me. I can appreciate a great violin player. I cannot tell a $30 violin from a $300 violin from a strad. The section where it is played is also less than a minute long. That said, this violin has a sort of softer, happy tone that I really like but don't have the musical vocabulary to describe. Summer/spring comes to mind or almost like a playful feeling. I would 1000% buy this violin.
I am stunned to see what you achieved, I admire your skills and patience, a beautiful instrument. Is there any chance we could hear a complete composition? Great job!!!
yes fantastic. I absolutely love that kind of ambition. The only tip I can say that's a must is to carve the string grooves in the nut, so the strings are held properly and the correct width apart. it's a very quick fix. I use a fret slotting saw for guitar frets to cut the nut slots. if you don't have the set of nut slotting files. usually those are used for types of metal nuts and bone nuts. happy playing my friend. any musician will tell you, the difference between a beginner and a pro is time behind the instrument, don't give up and apply regular time to getting better and cleaning and maintaining your instrument and there is no way you CANT get better. very well done. I'd play the heck out of that thing. as a matter of fact, I watched this video because I want to make a violin specifically cause I want to play but they're expensive.lol. lots of love from my family to yours. Arizona, USA.
Wonderful!!!!! While most of the following comments are picking on the negative elements, I enjoyed the video tremendously. This is a homemade violin, with the simplest tools, not a Stradivarius!!! A great job :))
Ты не представляешь, что делают НАСТОЯЩИЕ скрипичные мастера! Это просто на вид скрипка, а на самом деле это не скрипка, тут всё не правильно. Говорю это, как сын скрипичного мастера
the factory sold peg tuners are sold oversized. they should be tapered as well changing the hole size in the carved pegbox to a smaller size making cracking less common.
This is freaking outstanding and beautiful! Forget the peanut gallery man! Congratulations on completing it? It sounded pretty awesome to me! Too many times people think it's homemade, so its not very good. Thats completely not true. I know the faults of everything I build. Unfortunately, most people are too damn scared to even attempt anything, let alone give credit for something tried and achieved. Awsome job you did! Keep up the good work and thank you for the inspiration to try and build a violin for my grandson. God bless you and your family!
+10 por el esfuerzo ahora uno bien echo, aun le falta estan las cuerdas muy altas te va lastimar pero para ser tu primer violin y armado a llo rapido esta bien
As a new violin project, try building one with the Australian blackwood used in the making of the Maton acoustic guitars. I bet it will have an amazing tone!
As a violinist i have to say there is many mistakes in the woodturning, from sanding the wood to the thickness of the wood, but thinking this is a first atempt, the job is'nt bad at all. Please, continue learning.
For your first violin, great job! Since you said you were a beginner in the comments, i'm assuming you didnt know things that will affect a violins sound such as bridge and plate thickness, and about how they are glued together. with more practice you could probable be a professional luthier!
Really cool video! Nicely done mate. I just wanted to say traditionally this work was all done by hand. But that's a lot harder! This is a super impressive feat. And I can't fault you for using the occasional power tool and saving some time. Great video!
@newphysicist querido, muito feliz em ver esse que deve ser o seu ou os primeiros trabalhos. Quero dar os parabéns e dizer que ficou tudo muito lindo e perfeito na medida do seu passo inicial e desejo prático de tão somente começar e você o fez com muita humildade. Vi que tem muitos professores e mestres aqui, poderiam ao invés de critica-lo dar um curso de graça a você, pois é mais fácil criticar do que ajudar, apoiar a quem deseja fazer o que a maioria não tem coragem nem ao menos de tirar a bunda da cadeira não é mesmo... Eu dei inicio ao estudo on-line de Lutheria, queria muito quando começar a parte prática que saísse algo como o seu, pra mim seria motivo de muita alegria e satisfação... Mais uma vez gratidão, pois vídeo como o seu mostra a quem tem espirito de criança que sempre é possível e dá pra começar a qualquer hora e dia. Deus te abençoe sempre e proporcione crescimento constante em sua vida. A Santa Paz de Deus contigo hoje e SEMPRE!!!
Para ser el primer intento estuvo bien te quedó increíble, no se nada de violines algunos errores ya te han hecho saber y debo reconocer que tienes talento quizás debas considerar aprender el oficio de Luthier.
Great noble efforts very good job.wish I was there.yu deserve great supplies and tools hope it all comes your way I predict a great future for you if not already.yu may be the next cremona masters.
I think you did a wonderful job on this instrument with the materials and tools you had available. The traditional materials and tools are only as good as the person building the instrument and the directions given and offered, will help you progress toward a traditional instrument. Most of the traditionalists believe only traditional materials, tools, and method are the only way to make a quality instrument. Hide glue, maybe, but there are other adhesives of higher quality and more consistent than hide glue. Hide glue cracks and breaks easily; there is no consistent bond with it. Experiment with hard tone woods, soft tone woods, and so forth. A great adhesive is "TiteBond Original." It softens with heat and it is water soluble, if the instrument must ever have to be taken apart for repair. Good luck with future building efforts.
That's kind of rough, but it's a violin. It looks good and sounds good. Plus, it makes me feel like I could do it. All in all, I'd say it's a win. Congratulations! Oh, also, that was very creative the way you set that sound post.
As an armchair critic, there were so many things that made me cringe, but I have to admire your tenacity to see this project through. I was surprised how good the tone was (despite your playing ability😂) Would be interesting to hear what it sounds like in the hands of a violinist.
Very good,As I can see, this guy do not make any measurements in the frontal nor back plates. No plates calibration at all, that is awesome. Congratulations from Mexico.

You can’t even replace the figerboard if you wanted.
Also, traditionally. The finish is
First, clear varnish, then color, the dark varnish last. This is done to lock the wood away from any color absorbing into the wood. Once again so even the finish can be changed later on. And to keep the wood separate from the finish itself. Only that first layer of really clear varnish mush go into the wood.
I wish you spoke to a luthier or someone first. To tell you these vital things first. Because what you did was amazing and those small things rendered it up fixable and somewhat ruined with no hope.
Tremendous first effort. Absolutely great for someone working on their own without the help of a violin maker. I hope you make a second one out of tone woods; spruce top, maple ribs and back. Research plate thicknesses and how to tune them. I'm sure you figured out by now that when you buy a bridge, they aren't finished and the action was way high. Details to sort out, but you are definitely talented.
Kind of like you read my mind. I’ve plans to make one. Thank you for the comment and support. 🙏
It is a pretty violin but the finish looks like shit though. Applying it with a spray gun instead of a paintbrush would save a lot of sanding which it didnt get.

After all of that work, if it ever needs to be repaired it will not be able to be opened. If you used hide glue. You can then open it and even fix some of the things I said above. You can still thin it out to get more projection, etc. A real violin must always be glued with hide glue. All of the parts and wood can be swapped and upgraded. It’s in the design. You can’t even replace the figerboard if you wanted.
Also, traditionally. The finish is
First, clear varnish, then color, the dark varnish last. This is done to lock the wood away from any color absorbing into the wood. Once again so even the finish can be changed later on. And to keep the wood separate from the finish itself. Only that first layer of really clear varnish mush go into the wood.
I wish you spoke to a luthier or someone first. To tell you these vital things first. Because what you did was amazing and those small things rendered it up fixable and somewhat ruined with no hope.
@@DMarkAgostinelli you're making a number of assumptions about how easily/accessible materials and expertise are for him. whether or not this is ever "fixable" for him is a matter for him to decide. this is a first work and, while i saw things he could have done differently even with the tools he used to have a little more finesse overall, that it's as playable as it seems to be in the end is a marvelous outcome. far better than my own tools and skills could probably do as it stands.
no, this is nowhere near a masterwork instrument but it works and based on his comments elsewhere, a learning step. chill out.

For a violin maker, the advice of a professional maker would have been very helpful...
Same thoughts! Proper glue for service…
It looks very nice! Another tip, use clothes pins for clamping the linings! I also recommend a dremmel tool for carving. However, when I make violins, everything is hand carved. The ONLY time I use a power tool is to cut a big block of wood to a smaller one. I use chisels and a 1/2" violin makers plane to do all carving. Power tools can really cut fast and ruin your work! You also need a dial depth gauge to set the thickness of the wood. Then do the thunk testing of the plates and make one plate resonate at E, and the other at F. You MUST tune the wood to these resonate frequencies otherwise the violin will sound like pure crap. The difference between plates causes BFO to occur and makes the plates really shake better. The ONLY things that I dont make are the strings, but everything else I do. I just recently made a 6'6" electric double bass!!! Its string length is so long that it makes an electric bass guitar seem high in frequencies! Anyhow, I like your video very much!!! Keep at it! Get the violin making book by HS Wake!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi I would how to find this book because I want to make one thank you please

Honestly, I ruined more stuff with chisel than with dremel
That was amazing. Your valuable comment was helpful for my audience. Cloth pin idea is good. Thanks
I'd love to hear it played by someone who actually knows how to play the violin.
Yes. Me too. 😁 I just started the class. Sooner or later your dream will come true 👍
@@newphysicist what scale were you playing?
@@newphysicist D Eb F# G A Bb C Db
I am Western classically and jazz trained but I don't remember the name of that scale from my world music class.
I’ve no idea 🤷♀️. We just started Indian katnatic. Sa.ri.ga.ma.pa.dha.ni.sa
What everybody meant to say was, great job making a copy of the messiah!!
I'm an electric guitar player and also love violins, though I don't play them. But I have a very old violin from the end of the 19th century that belonged to my grandfather and in need for a restoration. I need to buy some pieces that are missing, but didn't know anything about them. So, your wonderful and highly instructive video was very useful to me and, over and above all, showed me the high complexity of making a hand made violin. Thank you very, very much and best regards !
I’ve no idea about electric violins. Can you give a brief how it work?
So that I can make one
I have been playing for 28 years at writing and recently started thinking about what I would need to do to learn how to become a luthier. This is the first video I've ever watched of this kind of thing and helps me to understand some of the process. Thank you for being willing to demonstrate this with all its imperfections and all! 🎻🎶✨
there are many videos LIKE THISI one, but few videos done by true ''makers'' who have BEEN TRAINED (HANDS ON) BY A MASTER CRAFTSMAN- this is BY THE BOOK but the real skilkl is in learning the nuances OF THE CRAFT and making the violin andn the time you spend on it, truly a fine instrument worty to be played and even listened to by other musicians / players
@@margoils Sure, and people don't always know what they don't know until they start from somewhere. Not everyone was born an expert or with the tools of the trade. We all start from somewhere.
@@becomethesea yes, and if you wanted to do brain surgery, (similar to being a fine maker of string instruments) you'd get trained CORRECTLY from the beginning, unless you're under 12 years of age... so many people learn to drive a car without instruction . or play piano -self taught- or play an instrument - self taught, or raise children or dogs without any experience or training from experts, and they truly believe they DON'T NEED TOI BE LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCED PEOPLE, i totally know this kind of mindset... i see it all the time in the orchestra where a player is trying to play in an orchestra without any adequate skills for the music
@@margoils uhhuh... You too smart for dum dum bekomethesee ... Pls display ur superior intellekt bc I'm too steupyd to make distinctions
@@margoils yeah you are perfect at analogies! comparing doing brain surgery where if you don't do it perfectly someone might die to making a violin without proper woods or training because it sounds like a fun project that doesn't hurt anyone is a perfectly reasonable comparison!
If everyone knew how easy it really was Stradivari would be out of job! Kidding of course, there is much more to building even a decent violin but this project shows that it's not impossible to build a playable VSO. That's a great experience for anyone interested in "violin science". However, be prepared for some tools and materials spendings.
I too was surprised when my violin sound nearly as a real one do. It was my first woodworking project.
First of all… Supper impressed.👍👍
Some info and tips for you. Most violins are made with two pieces of wood glued together at the center (this is almost exclusively the case for the top) but sometimes the back is a single piece. Most violins are made from quarter sawn wood (again the top is always quarter sawn) but sometimes the back is slab cut. Slab is less common and when graduating the back plate the center thickness needs to be left about a millimeter thicker than with quarter sawn in order for it to not have a negative impact on the sound projection. So in general the top plate should be a two piece quarter sawn Spruce 3mm thick throughout (can be slightly thicker around the edges where it meets up with the ribs and blocks), and the back should be quarter sawn Maple at about 5 mm in the center gradually getting thinner to 3mm at the bottom and top in consecutive rings, leave the entire narrow midsection of the back at 5mm and then thin out from there. (For slab it the midsection would be about 6 to 5.5mm thick but still fade to 3mm at the top and bottom).
When setting the neck you actually cut away some of the rib that is touching the top block and carve a slightly recessed area into the block, this way you are glueing the neck to more than just the ribs, but rather you have 4 sides to glue the neck to.
Where the scroll meets the fingerboard it looked like you left that with hard corners, those should be rounded so playing is more comfortable (although it should have little affect on the sound) the bocks can be either pine (make sure it is really old and dry so it doesn’t warp) or if you have some Willow also works, for linings pine and spruce work but willow is easiest (if available, but it is also more expensive). If you don’t have access to Spruce or Maple, redwood top and cherry back are decent substitutes, but not commonly used as spice and maple are better. I have also seen some instruments substitute the top for cedar (easy to play but sounds punchy) and the back for oak but it sounds really tubby :(
I think I’ve also heard of a viola that had a willow top but I can’t remember if I heard that right, if so I’d assume the top would be a little bit thicker maybe my 0.5 mm? But idk.
As far as varnish goes I believe it is made of turpentine, linseed oil, and amber, probably some paint driers too, however I don’t make my own because it’s dangerous. The process produces a heavy gas that is flammable. If done inside it would float down to my boiler and heater, the pilot light would catch the gas and my house would burn down. So I just buy from a different maker who knows what He is doing. He makes it outside, but it’s also its own art and I haven’t felt the need to get into that.
Some good tools for making the plates the right thickness are small finger planes.
The small raised section at the top of the finger board needs small grooves for the strings, but only about 1/3 of the depth of the string. Rub graphite (normal pencil lead is fine) into the groove for lubrication. The bridge also needs 1/3 grooves with graphite, and the E string should have a small, 0.5 mm thin piece of plastic between it and the bridge in order to prevent the E from diving through the bridge over time.
Over all I am quite impressed with your work for being self taught and your first attempt. I admit there were a few moments where I cringed at approaches you took (like the powered abrasive disc) but you made a functioning first attempt and it for what it is, turned out well. The wood is a very pretty choice (although not very resonant) and the shape is well done. Also the scroll was especially well done given your limited tools and lack of experience. Scrolls are incredibly difficult so good job 👍
Here is a great example of technique for scroll carving (although it does just take some time and practice) th-cam.com/video/6WLFJJTf9wM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=l3IESLs0Oh4WMDcw
(I had to through away my first three attempts before I made something useable)
Also here is a link to International Violin. They have pretty much anything you will need to make a violin, viola Cello, or Bass.
Good luck 👍
The supper was super.
The other day I was thinking about luthiery and wondered if it might be possible to utilize present technology to (near) perfectly replicate a real Stradivarius. The approach I envisioned was to miniaturize a 3D scanner to fit the port of the violin to internally scan the entirety of the interior's topography. From the 3D scan, a tool path could be formed for a CNC machine to recreate the physical form down to the slightest scratch. Tests of the wood's moisture content would give you the target content of the formed pieces, so that they could be dried to the same. Then, with final assembly you would theoretically have a perfect replica that has been aged to present condition. I think it would be a fantastic experiment. It would be fun to record and compare the sound waveforms from the original and the replica.
You cant replicate the wood and the way Stradivari cured it, since no one knows how he did it bro
Almost no strads are original anyway, they were not meant to play with metal strings so were modified, as well as being changed to fit modern playing styles
This is already been done with no success.
@@gary24752 Not "no success", that's typically where plans for great instruments come from. It just doesn't sound exactly like a 300 year old instrument, for the reasons already mention.
Absolutely non realistic. Many tried! First, you can't condition wood to even 50 years by just moisture content. Then, each piece of wood is so unique, there's no way to copy one even great violin, and expect similar quality sound. The greatness of those masters was, they could make the best of each particular set of wood pieces. And even choose best combination of this very piece of spruce with that very piece of maple. You can't computerize this
This made the process of violin making like it was building a wardrobe or an outdoor chair. There is a lot more to it than is shown here. I wish it was as easy as this.
10/10 for giving it a go. Im making my first violin using the same instruction guide. I think doing what you did will prepare you well for the next go with proper wood etc. My experience is that with every step you not only have to learn a few tricks, you also have to learn how to use the tools and how to sharpen them properly. Joining the maple pieces for the back plate for instance - try to plane them for a good fit by hand, not easy. Please post your next project.
Sure I will. As you just said, I learned a lot of things by doing this work. This is the first time I’m working on wood too.
I have plans to build a better one using Right wood, right glue (hide), right tools, correct thickness, best varnish, and a purfling.
With out the guide this wouldn’t be possible. I’m once again thanking them for creating that. Thanks to you too for taking the time to watch my work.
Love ❤️
New Physicist
Can you tell me where to get the plans? I want to try to make one as well.

@@newphysicist There's a problem with the link you provided. I get the error message "Connect to network

I think it’s your network problem. Pls check in a different network.
Good workmanship, if you already have that skill, luthiery is just a few steps away. I also love few comments above directing you to right resources and what key things to look out for. Simply awesome
Ooh, you need those indentations on the f holes to know where to put the bridge... that's very important, certainly can't skip that and carve it on later as you personally see fit. Well, you didn't even align the bridge with the f hole indentations so it doesn't even matter. Also, you didn't put the bridge protectors on the strings and the strings in the peg box looked really sloppily put on. But that G doesn't even seem to have a ball end. The violin wasn't even in tune at the end of the video. Great effort, but a bit more research would have helped immensely.
generally you want a softer wood with a finer grain for the front plate for best sound generation - great tutorial it is a labour of love! I have only restored and repaired violins but have started to carve the back and curve the ribs on my first one with my Grandpa years ago, might have to revisit and complete the project!
I am a luthier apprentice,
your violin has many faults, it is not correct to work with a sander to dig the vaults of the violins.
You need to use a plane and measure each thickness, the table and back are too thick.
The reversal is also not good, the height of the strings is much too high which does not allow a good playing of the instrument, there is no poiriette (rocking of the key so that it is higher in the bass) and the bridge is not dutout recut which gives an unpleasant sound.
The pegs and the nut are not adjusted or cut correctly,
and above all, you must use hot glue for assembly and never white glue or modern glue, because a good instrument is above all an instrument which can be easily disassembled.
In short, for a first try, it's a good job, but it does not respect the crucial rules of lutherie
Yes, I’m well aware of all the mistakes I did which you sited here. This is my first #woodworking project and I’m planning to do it again the right way. Correct thickness using a calliper, hide glue, best varnish, right wood. I had no idea about violins before. After making I learned a lot from people like you. Thanks for the comment. ❤️
The comment that I'm looking for
Can we please not denigrate him?
@@pdsCV uhh pretty sure it was a well made constructive criticism. People learn from mistake and the guy takes it as a positive thing too. Since now, he know where he needs to improve on and make a much more awesome sounding violin. Anyway nonetheless your comment indicates your worry of the uploader self esteem, so pretty sure he will appreciate your comment as well.
What I'm trying to say is not all critics indicates they hate the uploader. Some like these are very helpful.
@@newphysicist good to know that you are aware of that. for me, it was the title of the video that bothered me, because people could assume thats how violins are usually made. but thats not to say that you arent a good woodworker. so have fun and explore.
Extra tip: around the peg box is something called a “nut” and the nut also has groves indented into it so that way the strings have a place to sit in when they come out of the peg box. But honestly- this was so cool to watch! Makes me wanna try to make one in my uncle’s work shop. 😊
In the "Testing" Part, I know what scale he was playing! The harmonic minor scale.
Great job! It looks great.
(Practice and violin lessons make perfect!)
It's not completely a harmonic minor. It has the 1, b2, 3, 4, 5, b6, b7. The minor 3rd intervals make it sound that way.
Omg. It looks like it's made out of a kitchen chopping board. So cool! It's beautiful! Love it!
I never knew I could use solder iron to bend the ribs.
Video sensacional! Obviamente não é um violino para fins profissionais, mas é apaixonante ver o processo de se fabricar um instrumento a mão, e parabéns! Que belo instrumento
Hahahaha ridicolo
@@robertozanda3729 Tenta fazer um melhor esposta ai.
I love it, the only thing I would add is when sanding the plates, checking the tunning of each specific part (somehow xd) that is what gives big sound to the instrument (and a good varnish helps too)
This is the must fucking epic video I have seen in my whole life, as a violinist your work is respectfull and you deserve all the support possible
Thank you 🙏
I love that what you're using to bend the ribs looks like an adapted soldering iron. Way to get it done!
Such an underrated video
❤️
You sir, are inspirational and a true and natural craftsman. Oh, how I would love to make my own violin. Thank you for this fantastic video!
That’s really cool! I would make a violin, but I have no experience in woodworking. I play the double bass, so I usually play with violins in a orchestra. Your playing is sounding great! Don’t worry, you will get better the more you practice!
Thank you 😊
Eu achei lindo seu violino, lógico que a cada trabalho executado você irá descobrindo formas mais práticas de se executar melhor o mesmo trabalho. Parabéns. Estive ao lado de luthier na Itália e me lembrou muito o seu trabalho. Vá em frente, não desanime, crie seu próprio jeito develaborsr um bom violino. Você leva jeito, nunca desanime.
Sounds better than I expected!
Wow awesome DIY project!!! 👏👏👏
Just some tips, you may adjust/carve the bridge lower if you think your string height is too high.
For playing, you may use a shoulder rest. Or with your amazing handcraft skills, you could probably DIY it too. Shoulder rest will help you carry the weight of the violin through your chin and shoulder, your left hand will be free and will not "grip" the fingerboard.
Thank you for the suggestion. I will take your suggestions in consideration when building my next violin. Violin V2
Great effort my dear frnd..💙🤗
Thank you man 💕💕
Hey dude, this is really cool! Ignore all of the toxic comments from the idiots criticising your DIY Violin your playing of scales! Thanks to your video I actually started building my own mould today! As for the idiots.... I didn't realise that there were so many professional luthiers on TH-cam!? You made a violin and managed to play it after only a few lessons! You should be very proud of yourself and your skills, keep practising and doing your thing. The people criticising you are only jealous because they dont have the skills or talent to do what you did here!!! Great work and thanks for the insipiration! :)
Thank you. You made my day. ❤️
Yes just ignore the bad critics. They are many master luthiers here and they will ask you to go back to the traditional methods. I am really inspired by your modern ways of using power tool. I am thinking of making my first violin this year... yes using electric jigsaw an grinder. I will still use hide glue though.
Inspired my many many suggestions I got below this video, I’m gonna do it once again. ❤️
This amazing!!!! Im attempting to self teach my daughter how to play so this is going to be very helpful when i make her one
I love your tiger violin, looks amazing and sounds like a violin! Great job! I'm sure you'll only get better from here. 😊
That violin is beautiful especially for your first time! I'd reccomend taking it to a store to get it in tune
Wow! Want to do in on handcraft lessons! Beethoven's 9 symphony is beautiful!
Thank you 🙏
My dear friend, I kann understand your pleasure to built this violín. That is a product of love for the music through this instrument.
Very impressive and it came out looking really nice. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you so much 😊
does it sound like a violin you would buy?
@@emerald7761 I can make sounds come out of my violin that don't hurt the ears of those around me. I can appreciate a great violin player. I cannot tell a $30 violin from a $300 violin from a strad. The section where it is played is also less than a minute long.
That said, this violin has a sort of softer, happy tone that I really like but don't have the musical vocabulary to describe. Summer/spring comes to mind or almost like a playful feeling. I would 1000% buy this violin.
The sound was not bad at all😳!
I should give you five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.
I am stunned to see what you achieved, I admire your skills and patience, a beautiful instrument. Is there any chance we could hear a complete composition? Great job!!!
Thank you for your kind words. I’m just a beginner in playing violin 🎻. 💜
yes fantastic. I absolutely love that kind of ambition. The only tip I can say that's a must is to carve the string grooves in the nut, so the strings are held properly and the correct width apart. it's a very quick fix. I use a fret slotting saw for guitar frets to cut the nut slots. if you don't have the set of nut slotting files. usually those are used for types of metal nuts and bone nuts. happy playing my friend. any musician will tell you, the difference between a beginner and a pro is time behind the instrument, don't give up and apply regular time to getting better and cleaning and maintaining your instrument and there is no way you CANT get better. very well done. I'd play the heck out of that thing. as a matter of fact, I watched this video because I want to make a violin specifically cause I want to play but they're expensive.lol. lots of love from my family to yours. Arizona, USA.
Very instructive and entertaining. Liked. Thank you.
Wonderful!!!!! While most of the following comments are picking on the negative elements, I enjoyed the video tremendously. This is a homemade violin, with the simplest tools, not a Stradivarius!!!
A great job :))
The great effort he demonstrate makes me appreciate the work of real violin makers. Thanks for preparing the video!
Ты не представляешь, что делают НАСТОЯЩИЕ скрипичные мастера! Это просто на вид скрипка, а на самом деле это не скрипка, тут всё не правильно. Говорю это, как сын скрипичного мастера
Tolles Video, gute Arbeit, Gruß aus Deutschland
Thank you ❤️
the factory sold peg tuners are sold oversized. they should be tapered as well changing the hole size in the carved pegbox to a smaller size making cracking less common.
You are correct. They were large in size. I’ve done many mistakes. I didn’t count. 😁
This is freaking outstanding and beautiful! Forget the peanut gallery man! Congratulations on completing it? It sounded pretty awesome to me! Too many times people think it's homemade, so its not very good. Thats completely not true. I know the faults of everything I build. Unfortunately, most people are too damn scared to even attempt anything, let alone give credit for something tried and achieved. Awsome job you did! Keep up the good work and thank you for the inspiration to try and build a violin for my grandson. God bless you and your family!
I really enjoyed this. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. I hope you continue to follow your passion.
People like you are my motivation to keep making. Thank you ❤️
+10 por el esfuerzo ahora uno bien echo,
aun le falta estan las cuerdas muy altas te va lastimar pero para ser tu primer violin y armado a llo rapido esta bien
Yes. Bridge height is not correct. Will correct in Violin V1.01 😁
❤️ OMG!! man that's great work, keep up
Thank you 🙏 Youssef Rashwan💕
The background of Beethoven ninth (choral) symphony is a refreshing change.
Thank you
The violin you made was very good but just don’t forget to sand the bridge so that it has a little of curb and a finner look
Yeah. I should’ve. Thanks 😊
why is ainsley interested in violins?
Great work as stated by others 1 thing I'd add is you may want to invest in I soundpost setter to help get the soundpost in the correct position
I think that the soundpost is not that important in this violin 😅
Fantastic job! It sounds quite nice and I love the wood you chose.
bruhhhh
As a new violin project, try building one with the Australian blackwood used in the making of the Maton acoustic guitars. I bet it will have an amazing tone!
Stunning ❤️
Your expectation made it possible. 💕
Wow.....
great job
💙💙❤️❤️
As a violinist i have to say there is many mistakes in the woodturning, from sanding the wood to the thickness of the wood, but thinking this is a first atempt, the job is'nt bad at all.
Please, continue learning.
Excelente amigo!!
It is an amazing experiment. A House made violín. You can not expect to built an italian masterwork. Gratulation.
This makes me tempted to try and make one of my own omg Yours turned out super beautiful
Did you try? You can do it too. ✌️
@@newphysicist I wish I had the guts to try haha I actually managed to get a renovation project for free!
Great effort. Working only with minimum DIY tools. You did very well. Would have loved to have seen it tuned and played by a professional violinist.
omg i want twoset to review this
For your first violin, great job! Since you said you were a beginner in the comments, i'm assuming you didnt know things that will affect a violins sound such as bridge and plate thickness, and about how they are glued together. with more practice you could probable be a professional luthier!
Bro start a malayalam channel. It'll be a huge hit.
Really cool video! Nicely done mate. I just wanted to say traditionally this work was all done by hand. But that's a lot harder! This is a super impressive feat. And I can't fault you for using the occasional power tool and saving some time. Great video!
Good working ... 😍😍 Keep it up ... 🙌👏👏👏
Thanks man ❤️
Wat a goodlooking piece of wood you have choosen!
I migth try and bould one to, and learn to play it.
Thanks for the video!
@newphysicist querido, muito feliz em ver esse que deve ser o seu ou os primeiros trabalhos. Quero dar os parabéns e dizer que ficou tudo muito lindo e perfeito na medida do seu passo inicial e desejo prático de tão somente começar e você o fez com muita humildade. Vi que tem muitos professores e mestres aqui, poderiam ao invés de critica-lo dar um curso de graça a você, pois é mais fácil criticar do que ajudar, apoiar a quem deseja fazer o que a maioria não tem coragem nem ao menos de tirar a bunda da cadeira não é mesmo... Eu dei inicio ao estudo on-line de Lutheria, queria muito quando começar a parte prática que saísse algo como o seu, pra mim seria motivo de muita alegria e satisfação... Mais uma vez gratidão, pois vídeo como o seu mostra a quem tem espirito de criança que sempre é possível e dá pra começar a qualquer hora e dia. Deus te abençoe sempre e proporcione crescimento constante em sua vida. A Santa Paz de Deus contigo hoje e SEMPRE!!!
Wow great. I know how it make. Thanks for the video.
Muito 👍 bom
Para ser el primer intento estuvo bien te quedó increíble, no se nada de violines algunos errores ya te han hecho saber y debo reconocer que tienes talento quizás debas considerar aprender el oficio de Luthier.

I think you did a wonderful job on this instrument with the materials and tools you had available. The traditional materials and tools are only as good as the person building the instrument and the directions given and offered, will help you progress toward a traditional instrument. Most of the traditionalists believe only traditional materials, tools, and method are the only way to make a quality instrument. Hide glue, maybe, but there are other adhesives of higher quality and more consistent than hide glue. Hide glue cracks and breaks easily; there is no consistent bond with it. Experiment with hard tone woods, soft tone woods, and so forth. A great adhesive is "TiteBond Original." It softens with heat and it is water soluble, if the instrument must ever have to be taken apart for repair. Good luck with future building efforts.
Thank you 😊
S A C R E L I G I O U S
I remember this video. The turn out is beautiful
Looked like you had a lot of fun but please don’t sell it to anybody hoping to play it as it’s only a decorative object
It’s not. That’s the surprise. You can watch me play it at the end. 😁
That's kind of rough, but it's a violin. It looks good and sounds good. Plus, it makes me feel like I could do it. All in all, I'd say it's a win. Congratulations! Oh, also, that was very creative the way you set that sound post.

As an armchair critic, there were so many things that made me cringe, but I have to admire your tenacity to see this project through. I was surprised how good the tone was (despite your playing ability😂) Would be interesting to hear what it sounds like in the hands of a violinist.
Congratulations on the work, it was very good
Oops I wrongfully made a piano
Very good,As I can see, this guy do not make any measurements in the frontal nor back plates. No plates calibration at all, that is awesome. Congratulations from Mexico.
Certainly a background great music choice!
