    Hi Chris, also von mir hast du vollsten Respekt für die Ruhe und Liebe bei deiner Arbeit. Diese Energie, die du deine Kreationen mit auf den Weg gibst ist einfach wunderschön anzusehen. Als ehemaliger Tischler hätte mich so ein Schaffen auch begeistern können. Wirklich wertvoll dass es Kunsthandwerk wie deines im Herzen Europas noch gibt. Viel Erfolg und alles Gute auf deinem Weg.

      Nice job, the choice of wood is beautiful, gorgeous guitar. Also I found it interesting to see the inlay you put either side of the fingerboard, a bit different from what I am used to. Why did you glue the strips of ebony all along the side of the fingerboard?

    Finally, someone building a classic guitar mostly with hand tools. Not everyone has a powerful band saw or think it's 'ethic' to use a power sander to get the soundboard to thickness.
    Nice build and fantastic ASMR video.❤
    One question: do you find easier to thickness the back before cutting it to shape? I find that one tedious task with hardwood, and cutting it before thicknesing means less material to work with😅

    • @chriscrevelsguitars
      @chriscrevelsguitars  Рік тому +2

      Hey, so glad that you like my work! Thanks for the kind words.
      About thicknessing the back, it can be a pain depending on the wood, but I generally like to thickness it in parts: I take it to around 3mm before cutting, and then after I take it all the way.

    Uma verdadeira obra de arte! Parabéns! Dito isso, alguns pitacos, já que vc pediu. ;) O mosaico ao lado da escala ficou um pouco pesado, talvez se fosse como os filetes laterais ficasse mais equilibrado. O teste final não pode ser gravado na oficina, tem muita sobra de frequências, matou o som do violão completamente. Antes de gravar deixe as cordas descansarem para não ocorrerem problemas com a afinação. Achei essas cordas um pouco agudas, mas nessa sala não dá para identificar se foi a corda ou a acústica. Eu gosto
    muito da Savarez, tem um som mais aveludado do que Agustini por exemplo. A mão ficou lindíssima e a ponte, o fundo, o tampo e a roseta tbm. Adoraria ter grana para encomendar um desses! Parabéns, você é um verdadeiro artista.🍻

      Opa! Valeu demais pelos pitacos!
      Que bom que você gostou do vídeo!
      De fato, o detalhe ao lado da escala é um reparo, tem inclusive dois vídeos sobre esse reparo. O teste final, na verdade, é mesmo só pra constar no vídeo né. O bom mesmo é esperar ao menos um mês para o tampo se ajustar um pouco. O som do violão continua evoluindo bastante ainda por um ano inteiro em um violão de abeto. Além disso eu não usei um microfone adequado, nem minhas unhas estão boas no vídeo (eu sempre acabo estragando elas no trabalho). O que eu gosto de fazer é entregar o violão para algum colega profissional fazer uma amostra de som, com ambiente e microfonação adequada. Mas ainda não consegui isso com esse violão.
      Pra cordas, eu sempre vou com Daddario EJ45, principalmente pra manter sempre o mesmo parâmetro. Talvez eu teste a Savarez ainda. Agustini eu não curto, não, acho desconfortável pra tocar e um pouco apagada no som.
      Pois é! Quem sabem o real valoriza bastante, aí vai ficar mais fácil pra vender violões no Brasil também.
      Um abraço!

    I'm curious about one thing, I saw where you marked the underside of the fretboard so you could cut it out to match the sound hole, but you never made that cutout, why is that?

    • @chriscrevelsguitars
      @chriscrevelsguitars  11 місяців тому +1

      I've marked it to know the position of the soundhole, not really to cut the fretboard there, as you perceived. Sometimes I also make design decisions on the fly, when it is not a commission instrument.

    neden klasik gitarlarda çelik destek çubuğu (truss rod) kullanılmıyor ?.. 🤔
    bunun nasıl bir sakıncası olabilirki, kullanılsa daha iyi olmaz mı ?.. 🤔

      Hey, thanks to the magic of translation!
      So, basically classical guitars existed before truss rods! Then it is 'traditional' to build without one. There is no much more reason to it, you absolutely can build a classical with truss rods, some fabric made do have. Luthiers prefer not to because it is traditional, the guitar ends up lighter and, because the neck is way thicker and broader - so more stable - than in other guitars, you kinda don't n need them

    This guitar had some interesting and unique aesthetic design features, like the ornamental inlay to the left and right of the fingerboard on the shoulder area of the guitar belly. Never seen that before! By the way - what kind of wood did you use for the soundboard?

    • @chriscrevelsguitars
      @chriscrevelsguitars  Рік тому

      Yes, that inlay was somewhat scary to make, but I think it turned out beautiful. Do you like it?
      The soundboard is Alpine Spruce, back and sides are Araribá (a Brazilian timber), neck is Khaya and fingerboard is Ebony

      @@chriscrevelsguitars Here's a thought: What woods did Torres use to make his guitars? And can you obtain and use these same woods today?

    • @chriscrevelsguitars
      @chriscrevelsguitars  Рік тому +1

      Torres used Spruce for soundboards, as common in his time. For back and sides, Torres actually worked with a range of wood, including Rosewood, Maple (both figured and plain) and Cypress. If I were to make a Torres inspired guitar (or even more than any classical guitar today already is) I'd probably make it out of cypress.

    might i ask whats the point on putting the wood on the intereior of the part where the hole is. Is it just for stability or does it affect the sound?

    • @chriscrevelsguitars
      @chriscrevelsguitars  Рік тому +3

      Sure! I believe you mean the sounhole reinforcement, right? It is there for stability. More specifically, it is there to prevent splits along the grain coming from the hole. Exposed endgrain have a risk of splitting, that's why the reinforcement is glued crossways. Some people argue that a stiff soundhole edge helps prevent loss of energy, but I think if that's the case, it is only a very very small difference.
