Yes, and they both float!

Rest in Peace, CT. And thank you for everything you tought me. My thoughts with his family and friends.

Does all of this apply the same way to the other string family instruments?

Would love to see that instrument! Any picture? PM me, I don’t want to hijack your thread.

I was also, but don’t know why my user disappeared. Maybe I will try again. thank you folks for your inputs.

Instrument 4: 60mm between upper Eyes? Wow!

Could it be some kind of synthetic bow hair? https://www.cardiffviolins.co.uk/coruss-bow-hair/

Thank you for your numbers. I guess French bridges are a little bit heavier. Is that so?

One by one, gentlemen. Do not rush.

Hi everyone, I know that a violin bridge properly carved weight is something around 1.9-2.1 grams. But I am curious about cello bridges. What is the average weight of a cello bridge? (for a more or less standard 90 mm bridge) Does the style of the bridge (french or belgian) have influence?

These things happen in the best families. Last saturday I was cutting the f holes of a violin and my knife slipped and took away the tip of a wing. I spent the whole evening fixing it. Dont worry and pay more attention next time.

Thanks, Martin. Very helpful information.

Oh, yes! I remember that Messiah topic . In this case definitely not Chinese instrument.

Thanks. I this case the fluting at the wings is more rounded than in Piper’s Cello, where it seems to go more parallel to the edges. I do not pretend to identify the maker, but only to know if this feature is typical of any school, let’s say Venetian in this case. I will ask the owner for permission to upload more pictures.

Once I started a database of measures and I remember I stadarized the f holes measures by taking the distance between the cernters of the eyes. That way I avoided (well, I tried to avoid) edges wearing.
