Fawkes -> RE: An Interesting Violin Repair (Apr. 5 2026 17:20:16) In the method I learned from Michael Darnton, bass bar work involves clamping the top to a stiff frame to keep it stable through all the steps.

constructordeguitarras -> RE: An Interesting Violin Repair (Apr. 6 2026 6:16:32) It got me thinking: What if guitars had sound posts and they didn't cause the top and back plates to break?

Fawkes -> RE: An Interesting Violin Repair (Apr. 6 2026 15:25:21) On the one hand, they work so differently that analogizing between the two is thankless work. On the other hand, I read that the quietly amazing repair guy Yuris Zeltins has a repair technique for collapsing tops involving a brace, supported IIRC on the sides, which has minimal contact with the top.

nethanpaul86 -> RE: An Interesting Violin Repair (Jun. 29 2026 18:39:49) I think violin repair is really cool to watch. The person fixing the violin has to be super careful and take their time. People can really appreciate how much skill goes into violin repair. Violin repair is something that requires skill and attention, to detail.
