| Hi,
the link doesn't work. Can you check it. I'd really like to see the photos. The soundpost will change the sound of the violin completely, I think. It is because it changes the way the vibra ... |

| Congratulations! It is very nicely built. Very Good for the first/second one.
Concerning the varnish, I think it would have been better if you hadn't antiqued it. It is not very convincing, as it i ... |

You built it in two weeks? 
That's pretty amazing. Nice work there. I would try to get a darker ground. Make some tests (not on the violin!) with strong black tea and see, if you like it. ... |

| Thank you for your reply, Andres.

| Regarding your scroll, you could change the chamfer a bit. It should be angled about 45°. It is very flat, as it is now.
Do you want to make the purfling from abalone? Matthias |
