I know for some of you out there, I probably seem to be a maniac. That's correct, I am a maniac when it comes to make bowed string instruments. With this video I invite you to listen to the differences on your instrument and let me know how hug this has increased your sound of your violin, viola, cello or doublebass.
It really makes the difference.
All the best and don't forget to subscribe if you have read until this point.
Thanks

I don't make instruments or play them, however your videos have taught me a lot about wood, how to use varnish, and how to use various adhesives. As a furniture maker it's interesting to see how other people use the material and appreciate the details of a craft such as violinmaking. Thank you for sharing what you do. :)

Curious to know if you think an extra deep groove could contribute to strings wearing out more quickly. I recently had a pair of Larsen Magnacore Ariosos go false in about a month (my A and D) and wondering if maybe the bridge is to blame. Cheers

I had the triangle like slot on my C cello string and I could not control the sound on high positions x'd I saw that tiny "light" under my string so I went to sand it a little to make it round and had more contact on all the string, sound became more manageable instantly
@danieljstark1625

So HOW do you make the notches? Hat tool? How is it used? Does one need multiple tools because the strings have different outside diameters? What is/re the tool called? Where are they available? Etc.?

@Edgar Russ Distinguished Violinmaker, about the slots, i heard from another master that its best to use a steel ruler or so instead of a file to create the slot. the idea is that if you use a file to shave off the wood on top of the bridge, the string would still go in deeper into the bridge, especially for the E string. by using a ruler or a similar device, we are pressing the top of the slot and compacting it, there by giving strength to the slot. also, is it better to use a parchment for E string or using the plastic sheath that comes on a E string? for sound quality.
@EdgarRuss
@EdgarRuss 3 жыл бұрын
Making the slots with a file or squeezing it with a metal rules is more or less the same since we do not have to go that deep inside. But I doubt that you can squeeze or push that much maple wood on a cello or doublebass bridge. The parchment is a good way to protect the bridge of being damaged too much and to stop the process of being constant cut deeper and deeper. But the plastic tube has another purpose and is NOT meant to be used as a parchment. It allows you to hear the empty string without whistle.

Hello Edgar, Just discovered your channel and am so impressed by your clear and detailed videos. I have a question I hope you can answer. How can I repair/fill a slot that is cut too deep, the G string is inside the slot? This is on a double bass bridge. Thanks so much.

I am coming to this 2 years later and I have a similar question, but on cello. He mentioned filling with a little bit of wood in Ep. 41, but there wasn't a demonstration. Should we get a reply to this, I would be even more grateful than I am already for the informative videos he has produced.

Dear Edgar, i play my cello in a full tropical country. I have problems with finding the best rosin for tropics. Can you advise me to find the best rosin for hot an humid climate. At this moment i use the Melos light but i am not satisfied with. Thank you, Ronny.

Is the cut on the bridge straight and perpendicular to the bridge? Or angled to mimic the string approach angle? Or rounded ?

Thanks Edgar. How about the width of the bridge at the top. Is there an ideal measurement that is stable but thin enough. How thick should it be on a violin or on a cello?
@Ronys2YT
@Ronys2YT 3 жыл бұрын
I recently went with about 2 - 2.5 mm on a cello like build I've recently finished. I got that measurement from a few different places. so far seems to be working well.
