make a cello bridge nov 2020 mp4 a

realizzazione del ponticello di un violoncello.
Video destinato a chi voglia perdere dieci minuti per vedere come io faccio un ponte, dedicato a liutai ed appassionati, astenersi persone normali.

A wonderful Video in many ways ! I am really impressed by the precision and relatively fast action of all the handwork -- I. suppose it is a blend of skills and experience ! But to listen to Bach`s music in the background gives such a great connection to the time, when the models, which this cello is originated on to , where built ! Fantastic craftsmanship and the spirit of an artist as well !!!

Nicely done, but why not spread the legs of the bridge (about 1mm) when fitting to allow for spread under tension?

[@filippofasser]

I do it, with my fingers

[@rossthefiddler5890]

@@filippofasser OK, thanks. I'm just used to making a length of (sound post) material to wedge into it as I'm fitting the feet.

Fantastic vídeo!!

Ciao Filippo, bel video! Come mai non utilizzi il divaricatore per allargare le gambe del ponticello quando adatti i piedini? Solo una curiosità tra colleghi☺️

spingo forte con le dita ( ahahaha, come i marengòn)

[@filippofasser]

pollice ed indice tengono una gamba, il medio spinge l'altra

Incredible knife skills. Fasser is one of the best new makers

Grande Maestro saudade 👏👏👏👏

[@sfgylk34u_57]

Grazie. What main dimensions/ thicknesses do you use for the bridge? And what knife do you use for carving?

[@rossthefiddler5890]

Look up Henry Strobel for his book on measurements as well as making of, cello, violin & viola etc. He has included fractional instrument measurements as well which is very helpful for setting up those instruments.

[@rofo2107]

@@rossthefiddler5890 it is not true. No one is using standard dimensions except on students models. Luthier selects material of the bridge individually for each instrument, he is selcting french or belgian model for each instrument individually and he adjust clearance of the strings and other very important details for the customer needs. And he make a lot of sound checks and adjustments when tuning the tone of the bridge and these wer not shown at all. And these are made on varnished instrument, not on white.

[@rossthefiddler5890]

@@rofo2107 Oh please, there is a standard to base those 'fine tuning' aspects around & Henry Strobel was an engineer & therefore quite methodical & why he produced his publications. You obviously have never read his books, so don't go saying "it is not true".

Very nice Demonstration

nice detail photos

It was absolutely useless. This manufacturer has not shown anything important. For example, what are the measurements and there are dozens of them on the bridge. What template shape does he use. What is the weight of the bridge. What note is in tuned. How he split the legs of the bridge when mounting on the instrument. And so on. It looks like it's showing us something but it didn't really say anything concrete and I thought it was a waste of time. And by the wy, the french model is widely unpopular on modern cellos and in the end , he even didn't tried the sound of the instrument. So he stolen couple of minutes from my life for nothing.
