Hello,
I am currently trying to draw an accurate representation of a violin fingerboard in 3 dimensions CAD, with the scooping already taken into consideration with the surface (because of the type of material I am testing my luthier might not be able to re-plane the fingerboard without damaging the instrument).
After reading some great discussions around this forum I learned a lot about the theoretical shape and scoop depths etc... But I still have some questions I couldn't figure out on my own. Sorry if my questions are too dumb.
1. Is it possible to have a symmetric scoop dep
One of my son’s cellos has a strange buzz coming from the fingerboard. It is not the string buzzing on the fingerboard, the string height is great and the scoop is perfect. In order to correct it I place my finger underneath the fingerboard and press up (away from the top plate). It is also remedied by slightly pressing downward on the top of the fingerboard. We have tried a little sticky-tac on the underside of the fingerboard to experiment with no effect. So weird...
