Shelbow Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I feel sad that no one has stepped up to the plate and asked "Is there a violin with that?" on the bow threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the weather, when it freezes, you won't see any, then a warm sunny day may bring 2 or 3 out. Come spring, I may get 20 of various sizes wandering around.

Wood Butcher Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 23 hours ago, look i am running said: i don't remember checking the value of projection when i made the viola in the 80s... i had already made 2 -4/4 violins...when i made the 15 one half inches or so viola i used info from several sources both commercial and noncommercial...i don't remember whether i might have used the violin projection of 27 by mistake? but once all glued up it was definitely showing a weak angle and when i tried to find a 31 I found the bridge short with resulting poor tone...as a violinist I'm about like a 12 hdcp golfer...I had never attempted a REAL neck reset but 2 NewYork specials worked on violins i was restoring..who knows why i decided to add a tapering shim which still didn't work on my own. Could it be that if you had mistakenly set the viola neck at 27, then added a shim, it still wasn’t enough to change the projection to 31/32. So it’s always been a bit low, and hasn’t dropped further? The string heights might hold the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some that big live in the swamp attached to the river, about 1/4 mile away (sometimes they bellow a lot), but the largest I get up here are 6 to 8 footers (rarely), and smaller.

Only some 20, 8" alligators between the front door and the car... 8-inch (8" you typed) are only a problem if they become interested in the cat food, or if visiting kids think they are "cute", and try to pick them up. Not recommended. For one thing, if they start to make small, frightened, gator noises, a mamma gator may be nearby. The 20 would be a maximum, and everything scattered between the "moat" (drainage ditches), and the eastern fenceline toward the river.

You ever get tired of snow, you might move down here and open one, the little darlings just love goats and chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
