#76 - Thicknessing a violin front. Does thickness even matter??
I go through the process of thicknessing down a violin front in real time. This is the way I do this, obviously there are as many different ways as there are violin makers!
But, does thickness really matter? My thoughts wander about what is important.
I have come to believe that you cannot just adopt the thicknesses from one instrument and transfer them to another and expect success. Charts of thicknesses are meaningless on their own without reference to wood density, stifness, arching countour etc, etc, etc. Many makers seem to consider thickness the defining characteristic above all others, I believe things are more complicated!!
