The secret of a lazy violin maker, don't tell!

For the record, Sweden and Russia was once part of Finland, we kicked them out and fortunately Finnish as a language (that is unique, almost un learnable and awesome) stayed with us!

You also like Lordi, the Eurovision contest winners? Lordi - Hard Rock Hallelujah? I don't! I'm ashamed I liked Waterloo ABBA Winners!

The above image is semy sealed with quark - pit lime (= the trick!)

This is what you have! And it is going to be on of my latest/ongoing violin, postin images later.... Sorry about the bad image quality, I can tell it's awesome and it dries in normal "lysrör" exposure. Härdar på 4-8 timmar i Philips flug fångar lysrör (UV) och 8-14 timmar med vanligt lysrör, beroende på hur mycket balsam terpentin utspedd. I'm going to be a Varnish Master! You will get all you need for free! No pigments needed

In my life I have never been able to connect nor fel emotions to a Finnish band/song. Then again I'm Swedish by mother tongue. I don't speak Finnish fluently and ABBA is part of my youth. Look at this spectrum(take clips and combine in Audacity) It fooled some with the awesome spectrum of a Strad (Including Don, he forgot, I erased, he is getting old, so am I) (OK so YT links not working right now?)

Sorry, I'm new to this forum - who is David Burgess? I'd like to know him 'cos he seems like a soft guy

I don't know why even bother! In the context of Stradivari you have surpassed long time ago. As you know I'm looking towards Amatis. How in the He..l did they do it? Did they have time? that we don't have today or what? Some of their details are unbelievable. AND it was over 450 years ago!

ABBA (Old and New, tears unable to hold them back!)

I have no iIdea if this is relevant (today).My secret is I don't read repetitive posts going on and on for 5-10 years? Resuming about the secret then (yesterday) you want to know?...

The best secret (besides mine of course) I learned from a great maker. This secret, that was a practical method (he was secretive always...to any other maker), I managed to reveal it by tactical and persistant questioning. I'll tell you this secret now.... oops bedtime. Tomorrow then....

Mike Atkins, Ears might be useful, if you can trust them and have experience. Frequencies (of any type) at any stage of making are measurable, that is a good starting point for sorting facts from fiction/theories. Not saying the other Peter is wrong, but why not measure?

And, well jumbo violins are not important, they just drown in the orchestra and are as important as well nothing!

OK! Look again! If you say you have seen CT many times and still do not understand, LOOK AGAIN!

Yes, yes, yes (and well yes) Don't you recognize a professional? Well, Joe is IS! So he did not get the new tech, phones ... images..... right! Well he did get the varnish right! I'm not a buyer, but he shared ( In my opinion, too much? because I can make great varnish)
