  1. On the fifth anniversary of Neil's passing, here are photos of the completed violin which will be presented to the Head of Strings at St Mary's Music School later this week.

    One graphic artist, two amateur makers and 7 professional makers in the US and Europe were involved in getting the violin past the finish line.

  2. Here are some pictures of Neil's violin (final setup) taken outside somewhere in dreary north of England.

    It has been completed and is awaiting delivery to the school.

    Kudos to all involved (you know who you are ;))

  3. Thank you!

    Maestronet is a gem - please keep it that way.

    P.s. I use the principle that there are a finite number of seconds that I am willing to spend on looking at Ads.  Therefore, the fewer the Ads the more time I would be prepared to devote to each.

     

     

  4. Is it just me being lucky or are others experiencing the delights of posts being bookmarked by Ads.

    Refreshingly, the Ads are for maple wood etc. and not for Russian dolls etc.

    Nevertheless, It is making the Maestronet experience unenjoyable.

    Has anybody had any luck with Laser Bond?

     

    FWIW I bought it recently to fix hard plastic - crap. So, one of the claims is suspect (in my hands).

    I think one problem may be the lack of UV penetration to cure the adhesive inside a crack.

    I know not everyone would agree on this either but I think the weight of the finished plate to be as important as the mode pitches 

    Perhaps refined by 'distribution of the weight across the plate'.
