Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you're learning and having fun at the same time. If there's anything specific you'd like to know or see in future videos, just let me know! Happy fiddling!
Thank you for the inforation about that hot nails in older Violin i find them in bouth violins i have the one my grandmother play and the arabic wood one i buyd for 56,00€ on ebay , the last does not have any lines and is 1,8 cm longer on the nec then the other 4/4 violn . Personal i seen no rust/stain so i done gues its some wood decation after i found it in bouth violin i startet to think its some contrution make or roten glue somefing , ..an glance point in the middel .
Great video. Thank you! It's always interesting to hear how Guarneri, Stradivari and others are uniquely different (even with purfling). I recently learned Amati violins are more narrow in the middle. Do you have a Russ style design that is uniquely something only you do?
Purfling work the same science as plywood. Now days a lot of cheaper instruments are factory made in bulk... Many are actually made with cheaper material... Including plywood tops. So plywood does not fracture like pine. But the violin looks weird with out it so they paint it on. A real high quality instrument needs it for structural integrity.
It is handmade using spruce & maple. However it was made in 2008, so it should last for me. However, it must be for more than ornamentation since it involves a lot of skilled workmanship.
This depends on how tight the sound post is. A luthier will decide the length and position, thus tightness, based on their experience. Usually, the sound post will not fall when all strings are released, especially if you do not rotate your instrument out of horizontal. I have an adjustable sound post on my cello and know from experience that it might fall over if its length is on the short side.

I’m in love with the video editor ❤
You are a character who is also a violin maker. I learn a lot and are entertained. Thanks.

Thank you Edgar for sharing all your knowledge, I could listen to you for hours and hours.
You always propose very, very interesting topics. :)
You are the best Edgar,all yours Violin luthier videos are amazing thanks a lot🎻🎻🎻
Thank you for posting this, I have always wondered if purfling serves any practical purpose besides just decoration.

If all the strings are released at the same time, should the sound post remain standing or should it fall? please provide an answer
but does it keep cracks from going to the edge or is it just for decoration
Yes...
So Maggini's double purfling is more resistant to cracks than a single one? Or is it just decorative or ornament?
I think you forgot to tell us the punchline, that the purfling helps prevent cracks?
He actually did explain that. It was just in a round about ways. He didn't come right out and say it, though.
I have to conclude that the purfling is for ornamentation. On my violin it is painted on.
You may regret that when it cracks in 100 years!

Plywood isn't good for résonance. Thus they only want the perfeling on the edge where there isn't much sound vibration.

please stop using the same background music! after a few videos in a row it's maddening!!! plus this crappy music is unworthy of your videos!
