  • Your instruments are so beautiful! How many have you made?

  • to carve the f hole first you use a fret saw with FINE blade and then a chip carving knife? is that right or wrong? thanks

  • @k0mpassi Maybe not too many, but from Helsinski to Buenos Aires, a big one... lol!

  • @TheMissing62 i'd do that but there's too many oceans between me and your window!

  • @k0mpassi

    No I don't... i have two dogs, a turttle, and a bunch of goldfish... several species of birds comes to visit my window.

  • Do all luthiers have a cat?

  • That spruce carves like butter after the maple doesn't it? Mahogany is another wood that carves easily, but bow instruments are mainly spruce, maple, and ebony. I have to wonder if you select the location of the F holes and bass bar based upon the tap tone of the top? I do all stringed stuff with guitars being the meat and taters of the work, but also do mando- and viol- arch tops etc. I made a neat project from an old radio magazine to find a cabinet's resonant t frequency(ies), or top/back.

  • So is the cat the overseer of you workshop? Haha, great videos. I'm currently learning violin making, and it's great watching it take place.

  • WOWWW!!!! :D is that for me?? Thanks :D

  • You make me think that this violin is made of lots of butter :). I hope your cat lends you a helping hand as well sometimes :D.
