FIDDLOVER hand-made violin

There are some violin shops that just buy violin parts around and assemble them in warehouses, which seems to be a method of making, but there is a problem with this because just assembling, these shops don't fully understand the properties of the parts, nor can they control the quality of the parts. We have our own complete violin production line, and we have 40 violin makers, some of whom are masters with more than 30 years of production experience. From wood selection to making, to assembly, to final debugging, all in one go, the violin made in this way will be more coordinated and of higher quality.

In general, the top, end angle wood, sound post, and sound beam are made of spruce; the back, side, and headstock are made of maple; the pegs, fingerboard, and chin rest are made of ebony or jujube wood. Trees in warm climates are relatively soft and have a thick sound; trees in cold climates are relatively hard and have a loud sound. We look for quality wood in Italy, Russia, Norway and China, and make sure most of the wood is air-dried for at least ten years.

Now that the top, back, and ribs are made, we need to glue them together to make the body. In general, the sequence is to glue the back and ribs together first, and then install the top. This process is not complicated, but it must be done carefully, it is necessary to pay attention not to use too much glue, and the strength of the clip should be appropriate. Then inlaid the purfling, and finally polish the surface of the body with gauze to make the body shape more fine.

After the body is done, start making the headstock, and then install the headstock. The headstock is composed of a neck and a scroll. Making the headstock is a process that uses a lot of tools and is laborious. If the workload is heavy, a machine will be used to make a prototype first, and then it will be polished by hand. When installing, the master needs to make the size of each part accurate, otherwise the overall is not coordinated, and even the headstock will fall.

After the paint is finished, most of the violin craftsmanship has been completed. The next step is to install accessories such as bridges, sound column, strings, nuts, etc., and finally complete the overall debugging and adjustment. The production of a violin is not a bunch of strict data, but a systematic work. It requires the coordination of various parts to show better performance, and it is not something that can be done simply by assembling accessories. Our violins will we go through 11 items inspection for quality control before they are put on the shelves, and set up before shipping to ensure that you can play them directly in your hand.(view all categories )
