Pochette - travel fiddle

[Mr98giuliano]

has this wonderful instrument a soundpost?

[ijerry1]

@Mr98giuliano - Yes it has a soundpost - the construction is pure violin, just the shape and size are different

[BvsMAcosh]

Great instrument! And you are quite a showman too.

Cliffs of Moher... cool

[ijerry1]

Thanks for that - the sound hole positioning was actually a bit of an accident but it seems to work okay. The fiddle sounds much better now since I've fitted a bass-bar.

[greensoulo]

so amazing that little box sounds very loud, so as your clock.

very intering the sound hole is behind the bridge.

[ijerry1]

Thanks - it's very handy for playing sessions when travelling, and it certainly gets its share of attention!

[corimna]

Impressive sound for such a little instrument, and good tune too!

[ijerry1]

Thanks itsaguinness :-)

[itsaguinness]

Great vid! good song

[ijerry1]

Gotcha! hehehe yeah I thought it'd have more impact to go from mime to sound :-)

[Max0Inq]

When you grap the bow I started laughting. I imagined notes appearing instead of sound :D

[ijerry1]

Thanks for the comment Lcalavera - I'm glad you enjoyed it :-)

[Lcalavera]

[chansherly212]

[ijerry1]

The book is: "Violin Making - a Guide for the Amateur" by Bruce Ossman. It is published by Fox Chapel.

Cheers

Jerry

[Poodlepups]

gotta tell me the book name and author!

[ijerry1]

Thanks Cleardrops :-) I guess it's not too bad for a first instrument, but I can see many ways to improve it. Heheh yeah the clock - maybe it's there so people don't think there's no sound to the vid ;-)

[cleardrops]

PS: I particularly like the ticking clock in the background ... its a great touch altogether :-)

[cleardrops]

Lovely tune! Sounds great! Funny clip! You are very clever indeed. Good one!

Cheers

[ijerry1]

The tune is called "Cliffs of Moher"

Cheers
