I don't have deep knowledge in statistcs, but I imagen it would require huge amount of data to get reliable results with quantitative research. Collecting data from different sources and not knowing humidity of free plates nor assembled violins humidity, measuring errors, change over time from free plate to measuring body modes and so on..

Yes, but there is also a straight forward correlation between: Top M5 and B1- (back not altered) Back M5 and B1+ (top not altered)

Dampen the plate and warm it, then re-shape under pressure to get a higher arch. Leave it to dry for a week. You can rise M5 up to 30 Hz this way (M2 will go down). But the question is, why didn’t you make it higher in the first place

Anyone adjusting bridges when in playing state?

I have never understood how anyone can talk about and recommend thicknesses without knowing density of the wood. The thinnest top I have made had small areas 1.8 mm in upper bout. That particular top wood's density was 0.5/0.51

Happy New Year 10 min longer day already

Now I’m disappointed ☹️ Santa did only bring me this

Here, from where Santa comes and lives, Xmas is last season already. We always get the best presents as we are the first stop from depot. Merry Christmas

I have often talked about Paganini with my family and friends, how his music has influenced a lot of tunes and children's songs we have heard. You may or may not like this modern version of Concerto 4 II mov. I think it's amazing how his compositions are up to date.

I'm sorry to say, but this whole post looks like rubbish. No measures and incoherent talk without base. It takes away all credibility.

Of course I can understand the figures! To get somewhere, there has to be a verbal confirmation back and forth. So again, simple yes/no question: Is it your opinion that the endblocks don't turn inwards?

I’m going back to the simple questions. Viewpoints aside. Robert, is it your claim that the endblocks are not turning inwards

Yeah, if it’s raining you will get wet (except if you are under an umbrella)

I would use GIMP
