When we see photos of the Kochanski del Gesu the varnish appears red or even something darker. The varnish viewed in person is quite orange. The fine crackle on a lightly polished surface from long ago collects environmental dirt in a most delightful way. This is one of the more difficult aspects to replicate when antiquing. --Chris Pedersen

The more string players there are the better for the industry. -

Inflection points of polynomial cross arch shapes
Christian Pedersen replied to Marty Kasprzyk's topic in The Pegbox
Interesting arching concepts. I would be interested in seeing a completed instrument or or least an example of an arched top or back. --Chris -
This has worked for me for close to 30 years. It's a prototype that worked so well I haven't needed to make a new one.

I'm surprised they didn't use a French instrument in the advertisement! -
to blacken or not to blacken the inside of the pegbox?
Christian Pedersen replied to FoxMitchell's topic in The Pegbox
Darkened pegboxes (black or what ever color) in older instruments is a typical step after a scroll graft and bushings. Most of the expensive instruments where I work have darkened pegboxes. If you like it, do it. If you don't, don't. It's not a big deal! -

Matt, Those strings are the Chinese ones that come on the bass originally. I believe most folks toss them. I would replace them with D'Addario Helicore strings. --Chris
