Holy expletive, it works! | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2010/09/28/holy-expletive-it-works
One violin. Several chisels. Holy expletive, it works! I am very very pleased to report that the conversion was a success – my fiddle now works and sounds like a hardingfele! And even without the understrings, the tone of the instrument was greatly improved in the process. Details later, when I post the tweaks I still want to make… for now, pictures.

Stripping | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2009/05/02/stripping
One violin. Several chisels. It took four applications and lots of vigorous scraping to clear the back. I’m leaving the front and sides for another time, I’m a little worried about melting the joint glue with the stripper and I’m going to approach the edges with more care. Some quality time with a few levels of sandpaper and I got it here…. 3 Responses to “Stripping”. 5 May 2009 at 07:39. Wow, that looks really good without the finish. 6 May 2009 at 12:54. Yeah, I’m excited! 8 May 2009 at 17:16.

Continuing adventures with varnish remover | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2009/05/04/continuing-adventures-with-varnish-remover
One violin. Several chisels. Continuing adventures with varnish remover. The sides were a trickier job still, the varnish didn’t peel as readily and I ended up having to sand some large patches of it off. I’m not sure if it was applied thicker in the first place, or just not subject to the wear that the top and bottom had been. I haven’t finished the sanding yet, I’ll post photos when the whole fiddle is nude…. Filed in Text only. One Response to “Continuing adventures with varnish remover”.

Details | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2010/09/14/details
One violin. Several chisels. Setting the under nut. Also undocumented are the four holes bored through the bridge with a leather needle (I didn’t have a drillbit nearly small enough). I reinforced the wood around them with some glue, but I’m not sure if it will hold under the tension of strings. If it works I will try flattening out the arc a little bit for a more traditional string setup. On my last trip into Vancouver I visited my most excellent luthier Chris ( http:/ www.kcmstrings.com.

The violin as violin | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/hello-world
One violin. Several chisels. The violin as violin. This is the closest thing I have to a before photo – some of the hardware has been removed, and I’m keeping tension over the soundpost with rubber bands. The black square visible is from a much earlier, somewhat embarrassing experiment in attatching a pickup with velcro. 2 Responses to “The violin as violin”. 6 May 2009 at 06:10. OK, OK, I’ll take responsibility for the black square. It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Sorry! 6 May 2009 at 12:50.

Fun with chisels | Hardanger Fiddle Conversion
https://feedbacksolo.wordpress.com/2009/07/05/fun-with-chisels
One violin. Several chisels. This needs to be deeper, but it will eventually be the channel that the four sympathetic strings run through underneath the fingerboard. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
