First Our NZ Student…
Well I have finally got the Violin finished to all required final measurements, with Strings on and it is playing great.
I bought it to Ian Ralston who plays in the Wellington regional Orchestra. His comments were great. It looks good, feels good and the sound was excellent. It was obvious he said that a lot of work had gone into getting the sound so good. I have to say its all credit to both of you.
It has also been played by a Traditional music player, he said its like nothing I have every played before the sound is just great.
Once again I would like to thank both of you for all the guidance and patience with me in getting the violin to the finished product. I now understand a little better then precision that is required in the making of a violin and the time that is involved in getting everything just right. Also the work involved in the tuning of the plates in order to get the right final sound.
Once again thanks to both of you. I really enjoyed the project.
