The Session >> Discussions >> 5 string violin being varnished
Here are some photos of a 5 string violin I am varnishing. At this point it has been sealed and color applied. I will apply clear oil varnish over this. [URL=http://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=back2364x600io3.jpg][IMG]http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9626/back2364x600io3.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

I tried to take a gander at the pics and just got the front page of ImageShack asking me what I wanted to upload. but when I cut and pasted the URL in to the browser, I saw it that way. Nice wood on the back of that fiddle. Beautiful grain. I was sort of curious about what the headstock looked like. I've never seen a 5 string fiddle. How are they tuned? Low C?

Here is a photo of one of my completed 5 string scrolls. You are correct a "C" is added. [IMG]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/1674/anglescroll521x600xo7.jpg[/IMG] By [URL=http://profile.imageshack.us/user/stradibarrius]stradibarrius[/URL] at 2008-05-26
That didn't work try this again. [URL=http://img262.imageshack.us/my.php?image=anglescroll521x600xo7.jpg][IMG]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/1674/anglescroll521x600xo7.th.jpg[/IMG][/URL]
I see, the scroll still looks the same, but its just a bit larger to hold the 5th peg. that's such pretty wood in that fiddle do you make those yourself? they look like very nice instruments

All of my violins are 100% hand made by me. This photo shows a creative repair. I had basically completed the violin when I accidentally struck it against my workbench. The blow broke out a small piece of the first turn of the scroll. The customer told me to come up with a creative repair so this was the result.
