IMGP0787Fade
A ca. 1983 3/4-sized student violin, made in Hungary. Not really an extraordinary instrument at all, except that it does show some indication of faded color change over the past 27 years.
The yellow highlights and the reddish edges are probably part of the original antiquing scheme. What I thought was interesting was the footprints of the bridge, part of the varnish that was hidden from light. To a lesser extent, you can see the "shadow" of the tailpiece and some of the chinrest, on the bass, or left, side of the tailpiece. Most likely, this fiddle was far redder when it was new.
The Bass Bar
The shape is refined with a knife and small planes. I know how much wood to remove by holding the belly loosely with two fingers and tapping the plate with my finger. I shave the wood until I get a pitch of F# ( the initial pitch of the table before the f-holes were cut) which usually gets good results in the final tone of the violin. The pitch is relative to the stiffness/flexability of the belly.
Removing wood from the center of the bar lowers the pitch. Simple physics- the larger the bar, the stiffer the table. The stiffer the table, the higher the pitch of the tap tone.
