I love signs painted with gold leaf, outlined in black. They are so classy. This sketch is a detail of the reference photo (taken in 1989) for this series. Luthier (Sam) Rosenthal passed away in 1968, so the shop that bore his name must have been passed down to new owners. I don’t know if his shop still exists, but a search on the internet reveals that some of his violins remain in…

I am a violin maker learning to tattoo so here is a banana with the decoration from the Hellier Strad violin

#once a violin maker... #quite pleased with this #it's my first attempt at hand poke #although i did accidently launch the needle at the banana at one point #like a dart into a dart board #probably a human would complain more about that than the banana did

♪ day 1 ♪

so it begins! since this is only a week course we started off with some things done for us - i requested my mould blocks glued on, and my scroll block sawn out in advance. we began by carving out the corner blocks to fit the inner of the c-curve of the violin - first with a knife and mallet, then with gouges. the curve was rasped to get a nice smooth finish, and that was that!

we then moved on to planing the ribs, which took me a while to get the hang of. i started off using way too much pressure, which made it very difficult to get a smooth surface. it also caused me a lot of discomfort (my left thumb is still totally numb from where the pressure of the planer was hitting a nerve in my hand), but eventually i figured out that less is more and had a much easier time! initially we planed one side of each rib to a smooth finish, then flipped them over and planed the other side to a uniform thickness. by using a calliper gauge and writing the thicknesses directly on the ribs, you could see exactly which areas needed to be thinned out to get the perfect thickness of 1.0-1.2mm. i then got to cut each of my ribs to length and plane the edges smooth.

and that’s it for day one! i can’t wait to keep going tomorrow - i think we’ll be shaping and gluing the ribs, as well as starting on carving our scrolls. super excited!

I thought you, were building instruments as your main job, not singing opera! That's awesome!

oh my gosh building instruments would be such an incredible job though!! my dad is a woodworker and he was researching how to build a ukulele for me and it was very intricate

#i admire instrument makers so much!!!! #i also know someone in france/italy who builds violins/cello and it’s endlessly fascinating… #ask #anon #<333

y'all ever find something that feels like it's your True Calling but it's something like. illegal or extremely difficult to get into?

#i think i want to go train hopping and do that for the rest of my life and never do anything else #i am obsessed with trains and railroads and also danger and risk and joy and going very fast #i think it is what i am Meant To Do if anything like that really exists #alternately: i want to become a maker of violins. i want to apprentice under a luthier and fix and repair and play fiddles forever and ever #but alas i went to a regular university and now it wouldn't make sense for me to go to luthier school and idk if violin makers even #take apprentices anymore. #but i Yearn #I Yearn.

as expected i bought a cheap violin and i'm not happy with the sound quality because that's how i roll, not that going from an intermediate/advanced instrument to a cheap student one was ever going to like. go favourably 😂

#sighs in just going to look for a cheap antique #i was gonna offer on the $700 dead estate one on facebook but now it won't come up #like is the universe telling me something #anyway the rest are all student or like 12k 18th century antiques #like please somewhere in the middle would be great #the reality is that somewhere in the middle is my actual violin #the bar setter #except that's a long way away and also loaned out so that's a whole thing of taking this cheap one #back and swapping them and trusting an airport with #a one of a kind instrument #literally one of a kind we don't own the property the wood came from anymore and i don't think the maker is alive anymore #anyway there's your violin knowledge for the day

I don’t remember the name of the street where I took the picture on which this sketch is based, but it might have been Madison or Lexington, near Grand Central. I like the tilt of the street and the horizontal-ness of the storefronts.

I’ve also been working on a Symphonic DnB release, this is just the instrumental and some video experimentation.
