Its function is to carry vibrations from the top plate to the bottom plate. Optimal fitting and placement of the soundpost will make your instrument sound much better.<br />
<br />
When cutting a new soundpost, bare in mind that the end grain should run perpendicular to the violin's top grain. A perfect fit on both surfaces is essential to a great result. It's better to cut a slightly too long soundpost to allow for mistakes and tone adjustment which can easily be shortened, than to make the post too short. Longer posts will locate closer to the center of the instrument whereas shorter posts will locate closer to the E string f-hole side. Longer posts tend to favor darker deeper tones, whereas shorter posts favor brighter higher tones.<br />
<br />
Moving the post closer to the bridge usually produces more power, whereas moving the post away from the bridge will give less power and a form of richness.<br />
<br />
The tightness of the post also has an effect on the violin. A post that is set too tightly will choke the violin and require more bow pressure, whereas a loose soundpost will lack quality and be at risk for falling.<br />

http://fiddlershop.com/fiddlerman-s-carbon-fiber-bow-violin.html
Instead of rehairing one of my fiddlerman carbon fiber bows I decided to test it's strength out of curiousity. I was pleasantly please to discover how tough they really are. Not aware that I was shooting a video my wife informs me that we need to leave in 10 minutes which I thought was hilarious so I left it on the video. :-)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458373148633170677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729838428870123365.post-80747200110693910542012-12-04T08:25:00.001-08:002012-12-04T08:26:08.546-08:00More free violin sheet musicAdded more free sheet music. <a href="http://fiddlerman.com/studies-etudes-and-music/free-etudes-by-fiddlerman/">Check it out!</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458373148633170677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729838428870123365.post-59309937469278254792012-11-16T19:15:00.003-08:002012-11-16T19:15:30.344-08:00<a href="http://fiddlerman.com/2012/11/fiddlermans-international-christmas-2012-group-youtube-project/">http://fiddlerman.com/2012/11/fiddlermans-international-christmas-2012-group-youtube-project/</a>

"On Raglan Road" is a well-known Irish song from a poem written by Irish poet Patrick Kavanagh named after Raglan Road in Ballsbridge, Dublin. In the poem the poet, walking on a "quiet street", recalls a love affair he had with a young woman. He knew he would risk being hurt if he initiated a relationship, but went ahead anyway. The free sheet music for this piece can be found on http://fiddlerman.com
