I am with Texas Tech's Assistant Director of Violin, Annie Boyle, at the Hemmle Recital Hall. Her student, Joseph, is playing in this video. You can hear some of her comments in the background. She and her two students present all commented that Marlin's volume and clarity at all levels was impressive.

A lot of things packed into this short video. Drilled back alignment holes, prepared the mating edge of the bottom plate, removed the rib form, smoothed the neck heel flush with the rib and blocks, trimmed the blocks, set the fingerboard to its original height with a temp jig, drilled the endpin hole and glued and clamped the back plate on.

This is to show how I built the fingerboard and attached it to the neck. Then I prepare and assemble the neck assembly to the violin body.

Bending of the upper and lower bouts showing how the ribs are bent and the installation of the upper bout rib. My apologies for the shaking of the video. It was originally posted in a competitor video site and the video refused to download. (I had no other copy). So, I had to record it from my phone as it played.

All violins have 4 blocks which act as the bond to hold everything together. Corner blocks and the upper and lower blocks. This describes how they are prepared and temporarily installed onto the template form.

All luthiers need very sharp tools. The tools discussed here are chisels and gouges. This video discusses the method of sharpening them.

Making of a violin

Personal biography and why I decided to start making violins. The brand name I have given my creations is christened "Moeson". Each model will have it's own model name starting with "Marlin" name after my departed father. The sequential creations will be named after all my grandchildren from the oldest to the youngest.
