An interesting illustration of Luthier Tools from Diderot's Encyclopedia:

Please also define a few popular measurements called " some kind of stops " ? "Stops" from what

point to what point ?

[Omobono]

Falstaff, This is a great idea.

Sorry I can't contribute much for the moment.

(By the way - have you found a name for the center line that divides the back of the scroll?)

Below is a token - feel free to blow highlight it here if you wish.

Bow parts

Thanks, Jesse. Here's your image cleaned up a bit with a couple of things added:

I believe you are thinking of the "stop length."

I think this is the length of the string from the nut to the bridge.

I will leave it to those who do setups to give a more accurate explanation.

Don't know that I've heard this referred to with a name. Fin. Ridge.

How about "philtrum"? -- the ridge that runs from the lip to the nose in anatomy.

f-hole parts:

[Omobono]

My goodness, Falstaff, you are a veritible wizard with these illustrations.

I was going to clean mune up and sed it again in any case but couldn't

have done as well as you have.

I will see what else I can find for you.

This could be a valuable resource - when are you going into print with it?

Wink! Wink!

Omo..

[Brad H]

Is the main upright part of the f-hole called the "stem"? If not, is there a proper name for it?

Thanks for the great resource.

[Guy_Gallo]

Print with it? I'm not following your implication.

Stem. I like that. It would be good to have a term for this feature in an f-hole, as it is often very telling. Whether it is overly wide. Whether it is upright or slanted.

Can anyone suggest other terms they have heard applied to this part of an f-hole between the wings?

[Guy_Gallo]

Another question for the makers/dealers in the forum: is there a different term for the tip that points INTO an eye of the f-hole versus the one that points north/south?

[Alex_E]

Excellent thread and nomenclature of photos/diagrams falstaff.

Any chance of doing one for a Peg?

I hope this "Quick Reply" works, as ever since the changes to the site I have been unable to get the "Reply" and "Quote" buttons to work, so only come to this site very occasionally now.

[Guy_Gallo]

The Quick Reply worked fine. What is it you are looking for in a peg diagram? The different types? (English, French) or the different parts? (Collar is the only thing I can think of)....

Eric? Are you out there?

[Guy_Gallo]

This is what I know about pegs, using part of an image from Eric Meyer's site.

[Alex_E]

It's just that some pegs I have purchased in the past have differed around the collar area in respect of the size/depth of the groove etc, so I thought there may have been names for each section, similar to bridges.
