IMGP1132Neckset
Fitting the neck to the body is a picky chore. You have to get different angles, elevations, distances to work out as you fit the heel of the neck into the neck block. In my previous violins, I have fit the neck to a totally enclosed body, top and back glued to the ribs. Following the advice of a good maker I know through e-mail and the internet, I am fitting this one before gluing the back in place.
I have to say it is much faster , so far. I haven't fit the back yet, but getting the angles, seeing what I was doing, all was much easier.
Here you can see a rubber-band around the body. It's holding a bridge blank in place, a target for my angles and elevations.
NoNameRedMark2008.12
A somewhat interesting unlabelled violin. Photographed to show an older maker's/repairperson mark, shown here in a different light. Note the spot right off the center edge of the treble foot. This is a knife-point mark used by someone in the past during bridge fitting. It actually blends in fairly well with the other missing flecks here and there on the instrument. I didn't even notice it until fitting this new bridge. Considered a somewhat cavalier treatment for an instrument these days. December 2008.
