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
Hello Maestros,
The recent thread on a Strad viola with original neck and fittings led me to wonder if the baroque period makers put a scoop in their fingerboards.
