Is it usual for the bass bar to be this visible? This violin has a very dark sound, it sounds almost like a viola or celo, I'm guessing the two things are related...

I have a request to make a cello that would be better for travel for a gigging musician (rock/jazz music, but sometimes classical). He noted the David Gage Czech-Ease bass (http://www.czech-ease.com/). Any ideas on how this unusual size/shape affects sound? What about other compensations- graduations or bass bar? I found a few allusions to an improved bass bar on these over the years, but I'm not sure how it looked then or looks now.

Looking for help identifying a bass I just bought for my son....not really sure of anything beyond the label (Karl Hauser). I'm not a plyer, and really have no knowledge of these instruments, so any help would be appreciated!!

Hey there I'm not sure if this topic belongs in this forum but I guess I'll go for it I've had my viola for a few years now and as pretty as it is, I managed to put a few ugly scratches on it, (by accident of course). there aren't that many but they're kind of obvious. To me, anyway. I like to consider myself an artist, particularly skilled in swirly doodle looking stuff, and I was curious if it would be safe to use acrylic to paint swirly doodles on my viola. I've read several articles regarding painting on the bodies, so I'm definitely aware of the effects heavy painting

I'm Working on restoring an old bass, top has serious arching deformation, do to poorly repaired cracks in the past. Working on filing one spot where the original wood is missing in the lower bought and wondering if anyone had any thoughts, thinking of just doing a belly patch which feathers down to the edge. Link to a couple of pictures. http://s1060.photobucket.com/user/Mr-bubbles/media/IMAG0158_zpse4083104.jpg.html?filters[user]=143348490&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0

Hi everyone - I hope someone here has successfully dealt with this problem before, and can offer some insights to help me solve this one. This is actually my own personal instrument (not a customer's), an 1870's German bass with a flat backplate that has developed a nasty warp in the lower bout over the years. This bass has been here in Las Vegas, in the dry, arid Nevada desert environment since at least the 1960's, and I only acquired it about 3 years ago after it sat warped, seams open, and unplayed for at least 20 years. We got it closed and reglued in 2012, and since then this bass has p

Hello Maestronet, I have been lurking here for some time now and I have decided to finally post I have a violin (with the Jacob Saunders method, probably Dutzenware fiddle from Shoenbach, late 19th century) that I have recently finished restoring in my apprenticeship that has an extremely powerful sound. However, I find that all strings have poor sustain, the G string in particular has a very punchy and deep sound, and there is a powerful wolf on G#. These problems probably stem from the unusually soft spruce top and maybe the lack of corner blocks? Does anyone have any thoughts
