INCREDIBLE work, it sounds wonderful, congratulations friend. Did you make the strings with a Viola string? And what type of wood did you use? Greetings.
Thank you. Yes they're the first 3 strings from a viola set, (not using the thickest one). The body is pine, the top is spruce. There is some more info in the video description.
Thank you for the email replies and this video, my luthier has already started building my instrument. I will share pics later and hopefully a video as well.
I got the tuning pegs, nut and strings from Thomann, the endpin, fingerboard and spruce top on ebay. You could also get them from luthier suppliers and violin makers online.
amazing work! it inspires me to do the same rebec but i'm not sure that it'll be as good as yours:) i'm waiting for detailed dimensions that you used during construction. were all the extra parts taken from the violin? what wood is the soundboad made from? also pine?
Thank you, I made the body of this one a bit too thin as I had to take some material off the timber to get it flat, and I find it's lacking that mid range 'body' of the original, so hopefully yours will be better than mine! I should have the dimensions up later today or tomorrow at the latest. Yes, the nut, saddle and fingerboard are violin parts. I used viola tuning pegs, but violin ones would work fine too. The soundboard was from a spruce guitar top blank I got on ebay.
Amazing and clean work! The edges look nice and round. You are really skilled 🔥 Do you know the luthier secrets which Mikołaj mentioned in the instruments video? Another question - does it resonate well? Is it loud?
Thank you, it took a lot of sanding haha. I'm not sure, maybe it was the bass bar being flat and horizontal across the soundboard, rather than being tall and vertical. It resonates well enough. Not as loud as a violin, but loud enough to play with other acoustic instruments. Higher tension strings will be louder too, as will a thicker body. I don't have a sound post at the moment, but they also help it resonate.
@@jackbeckett2838 It must've! But how did you sand the connection between the neck and the back plate? (what tools?) I could only wish mine looked like that.
Wooww, cool 🎉🎉
Nice build :) interesting how you make those bodies that thick and sound very good :)

Awesome. I'm curious to see how someone experienced with making instruments will build it.
That looks and sounds amazing! ❤
Thank you!
Amazing. Great sound.
Thanks Jane
Amazing work dude!!
Thank you!
What did you use for the tailpiece did, you make it yourself or purchase a part?
I made the bridge and tailpiece from some wood scraps
Where did the tail piece come from? Did you make it or also buy it online?

What is instrument accompanying you? Do you have tutorial on making it?
It's a long neck saz/baglama. I didn't make that though.
Where can you order all the other parts besides the wood?

Thanks for the response

@@lolGer333h I used a random orbit sander to get the shape
What is the tuning?
D, G, D
@@jackbeckett2838 Thank You
Yoi, i thought this would be a tutorial how to play, not an actual guide to make an instrument
The clue is in the title 😉
