The owner of this violin was concerned that the instrument had developed a buzz. There can be all manner of causes for this, and buzzes can come and go which makes it difficult to diagnose the issue without patience. The most obvious cause was that the bridge was central with the projection of the fingerboard but because THAT was slightly twisted, it was not central with the rest of the body so wasn’t working in tandem with the bass bar and soundpost properly. I decided it was best to move the bridge and fit a new soundpost to account for the adjusted location. I also shaved a little wood off the side of the fingerboard to make the asymmetry less obvious since a fingerboard re-glue was beyond the scope of the job. Finally, a discovered that the f-holes had become lodged with dirt in the narrowest points so were not free to vibrate properly.
