The Gayford Carbon Strad Guy Thanks you! That is something I learned the hard way over a long period. How about a lesson on raising a A string power and a D string power. Most would love that.

Fascinating stuff, thanks for explaining this. Can similar adjustments be made for the D and A strings. I have experimented with the sound post and was amazed at how much a small movement of the post can have on the sound. Thank you again.

You are the only violin maker on the internet that helped me solve my problem with one of my violin restore projects. I discovered I have one with a base bar that's 4 mm too far toward the center line! I only wish I had known that when I had the back plate off repairing a crack lol. Long story short, after cutting off the outsides of the bridge feet and sliding the sound post out a little bit the g-string came right to life! thank you so much Edgar!!

I just want you to know your sound adjustment videos have taught me how, finally, to get the most out of my violin. For one improvement, my soundpost had been way too far to the outside. Now that I've set it correctly according to the distance of the bass bar, my fiddle's sound has really "opened up" in terms of output and quality. I'm taking measurements nowadays in ways never before. I really appreciate it, and though I've been making do with the lesser tools I currently own, I'm hoping to save up for an Edgar Russ sound adjustment kit!

That’s great and all for sure, but you can’t just neglect the other end of the post! There’s a lot going on down there. It’s not all just about where it meets on the top. The bottom(at least in my experience) is the controller for tone color, bow response and the core of the tone.

Thanks for the clarification on the mensura string length. I was looking all over the internet for a reliable value but found noting concrete just ranges form 325 to 330 mm. While playing with 330 in the beginning i alway's had problems with having to stretch my hand too much and couldn't quite play in tune. Then i experimented and ended up with 328 and now my teacher doesn't point out my out of tune ness anywhere near as often... Good to know that i wasn't just guessing it right. :)

By moving the sound post out ward, aren't you putting more pressure on the plates? Shouldn't you be adjusting the sound post length itself as well

Hello, my G string is too strong on my violin. I have to play il slowly and to give it pressure. It is not easy to play tunes like this. The G string often rolls under the bow. How to make the G string weaker please?

Sir can we place two sound post both side E string and G string
@EdgarRuss Жыл бұрын
not at all! it would be a silent instrument since it can't vibrate anymore. That would be like blocking the CAM of an engine with a long metal stick pretending that the engine runs even faster than before. 😉

Cello student here. How much does this apply to a student grade cello? I'm in the process of looking for my next cello but in the mean time, it would be nice to squeeze our some better response from my C string. Thanks

Thanks Edgar, I really enjoy the sound adjust meant series. I have a couple violins that seems to have a common problem weaker D string. I tried moving the sound post and adjusting or even scraping bits of the bridge, etc. But I was only able to get the G, A, E better or more balanced. The D seems to be hard to fix. Any advice? (obviously I may hit the limitation of these violins already) Thanks

@@EdgarRuss so my bridge actually snapped off (it didn’t break) but I put it on by myself and I’ve only been playing for ALMOST a year but I and went to the nearest music shop and they said I put it on right but it was lifting off a little bit and the string protector wasn’t on but the dude kept like slightly dropping it because he might’ve been scared the e string was gonna break.

Sound post adjustment is not for anyone other than a qualified violin maker/luthier. It's just too tricky to do yourself.
@blissisnow6 ай бұрын
I completely disagree! With all due respect, I and many of my fiddle companions have the tools and experience cutting and setting our sound posts. Yet we are not qualified violin makers or luthiers. It’s not ‘secret knowledge’ or ‘rocket science’. Once the violin is made, it’s our right to move the sound post to create the sound we like, just like changing strings or bows.
@Skinny_Karlos6 ай бұрын
@@blissisnow You're quite right. I guess I messed up my answer by saying that it was ONLY for the qualified. I guess that is just for me. If you're adept at doing it and are confident of not damaging your violin then more power to you. I'd just be too afraid of the post slipping and the string pressure cracking the top plate. If you can do it then go for it.
