The
violin maker finicking the back with another scraper.
|
| |
|
|
Hollowing
out the arching of the back.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
The
violin maker evens off the contours of the ribs.
|
| |
|
|
A
delicate operation: gluing the back to the ribs.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Placing
the linings.
|
| |
|
|
Using
a model the violin maker draws the f-holes on the
belly (made more or less in the same way as the
back), with a simple pencil.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Cutting
out the f-holes.
|
| |
|
|
It
is with a penknife, the violin maker’s major tool, that
he finishes cutting out, with great precision, the ƒƒ
’s of the f-holes.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Here
the violin maker has glued the bass bar to the
top; they are held together with cramps until the
glue dries.
|
| |
|
|
And
here is the top with the clearly visible bass
bar.
|
 |
| |
|
 |
Here,
the purfling-cutter helps our violin maker to draw the
purfling grooves all around the belly and back.
