Even though I have no experience woodworking or violin playing, they offered me the job on the spot. I am so excited to get started!

Stradivari was a violinmaker.. and a guitarmaker, and a lutemaker.. as you can see if go to museum in cremona and see the molds and templates.. Another luthiers was maker of some kinds of instruments, like hoffmann or schelle or edlinger. But today, nowadays any carpenter with a milling machine calls himself a luthier bekause he makes electric guitar bodys.. there are lots of shades of gray between black and white.. Im a luthier of lutes, and a fan of your channel

That´s right. Sometimes in my workshop we have to take the most jobs we can to make the profit and the people bring us other instruments aside from bow strings like guitars, electric instruments and etc. We have a specialist in any case, also we started to fix wind instruments like trumpets and saxophones so nowadays we have to be know-it-alls

Just being curious, do lute makers work with plucked instruments in general or just the lute? I would imagine that bowlback mandolins would be closer to lutes than they are to violin or guitar, so if there is no mandolin luthier around, does a lute maker also fix mandolins?

A luthier is a maker of instruments of the long and short necked lute taxon. Also of hybrid instruments such as the Stoessel lute (a fretted zither played like necked instrument). As a luthier myself, I make them all. Violins are the hardest to make which explains their cost. As is usual, your videos are amusing.

I hope to finish off another violin I started sometime back next year as I let other distractions get in the way. Doublebass's with necks coming out were taking up too much room in my small workshop & was glad someone else started doing it nearby (he played it too) along with fretted instruments. Violins, violas & cellos are much nicer to stay with (& also electric violins etc). Hopefully 2021 will be a good year for health & business.

An internet violin maker with a shop with apprentices, can't hair a bow and probably would not be the best choice to fix a crack, but is very good at things associated with making like setup, bridges, sound post, etc. I suspect many luthiers do both and makes instruments to fills open time, the making training and apprenticeship may be missing and they may not get top dollar for their instrument compared with a well known maker but get a lot more than a factory violin fetches.

The top layer was now again straight and later i fixed also the bridge with super glue... Funnily enough the guitar remained intonated and easy to play...

I always imagined it like mechanics. You can't take a boat to a car mechanic. Two questions if I may. You use the term maker.

Why do modern guitars use truss rods to counteract neck tension but violins and other historical string instruments don't? Thanks ☺️
@johnsee7269
@johnsee7269 3 жыл бұрын
Violins don't have the enormous tension on the neck that steel string guitars have. Nylon string guitars would not need a truss rod I'd guess... Steel string guitars have about a hundred pounds of pull on the bridge compared to about fifty pounds of pull on a nylon string guitar. CF Martin is famous, in part, for developing X bracing when the transition was made about a hundred years ago.

Of course it should rather be ”Violamaker“ or even ”Viola da braccio-maker“. But the name violin is probably better for PR reasons. In german it is simple, for the word „Geige“ does not only mean the Violin specifically, but also the whole family of viole. So we have Geige, Diskantgeige = Violin Bratsche, Altgeige, Armgeige = Viola Violoncello, Tenorgeige, Mittelbassgeige, Kniegeige = Cello, Tenor/Bassviol Kontrabass, Kontrabassgeige, Bassgeige = CB Talking about Lutes: Fischart wrote a hymn to the Lute (Ein Artliches lob der Lauten).

The curlicues on a violin strike me as very baroque. There's the shape of the f-holes; the two pointy bits on each side where the side of the body switches from convex to concave and back, and of course the spiral at the tip of the tuning block. Are there acoustical reasons for those? Or could it be possible to achieve the musical result with less complexity? Are there people who do that? I notice that even body-less electric violins retain the snail shells at the tip of tuning block, where it's surely nothing but a stylistic point. Or does that fractional extra weight change the balance? www.amazon.ca/Kinglos-Advanced-Electric-Fittings-DSJS1601/dp/B082Q5GQ43

Carved archtop guitars and mandolins are a thing though! :( I wonder how many luthiers in the world can actually carve an archtop guitar without "guessing" half of the stuff...!!! :(

Shouldn't it be "violin/viola/cello/double bass-maker"? I guess that's a bit of a mouthful.

olaf did u ever seen videos rosa string works.he is old school kind luthier he repair and build whatever his customer ask.his main focus mandolins but time to time he build and repair violins . ofc u right whole diffrent techics involve.but as u mantioner if u skilled carparnter woodworker know all about music, prieces work i technical diffrences anyone can build up any kind industment. but problem isnt effectiver for everyone.im pretty sure u can repair or build them.but its will cost u lot more time.u didnt have custozes some jigs for them hold like half store long parts jigs extra item is harder.so yeah im not critized people is focused one kind industments so better job they do less time and money cost with better experince both customer and luthiers for. so diffrence for my pov is non.ofc im talking about decent good works.so im not musician or carpenter or woodworker or luthier.i dont know u build doublebasses or not.if not i bet not becouse of u cant just up reason less customer for rare occusion for holding ton of meterials jigs etc at shop isnt so wise while viloning and violas close sizes and cellos are populer it maybe those too. again im total noob just talking general culture learn from u and other luthiers tv documenteries youtubes etc.if i mistaken some aspect or offend u somehow sorry(and sorry for grammer too i self learned and have some mental issues affect my writing and talking)

It's simple -- a violin maker is a luthier who specializes in a certain very popular family of traditional bowed stringed instruments.
