Actually the total set tension for Greens is exactly the same as Golds, according to the Pirastro website (assuming silver-wound G for both sets: with the gold-wound G, the EPGold set is very slightly lower tension than EP (23.0 kg vs 23.1 kg)).

Color list for retouching (alcohol soluble)
Bodacious Cowboy replied to Goran74's topic in The Pegbox
Ivory black and lamp black aren’t the same. Lamp black has a hint of blue, which is helpful, I think. -

Very nice. What's the length? -
With the way things are at the moment (and seem likely to continue) I think you'd have to be a complete violin obsessive to want to make this career change. Saner people are probably contemplating moves in the opposite direction.

Jacob's comments may be blunt, but they're far from silly. This is an excellent summary of how it is.

You make that sound like a fate worse than death!

I'm a great believer in the adage: "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room".

How to take my violin making career to the next level?
Bodacious Cowboy replied to chiaroscuro_violins's topic in The Pegbox
I've seen some astonishing work produced by first year VM school students. I wouldn't assume that the OP would be way ahead and/or wasting their time. -

It's impossible to give even semi-sensible advice without knowing what your current standard is. Can you show some photos?
