Bass in for a quick restring this morning.

This nice little Baby Taylor guitar came in for some setup work. The nut slots were too low causing buzzing at the first fret. Also the action was very high and couldn’t be make any lower at the saddle. Finally the truss rod was too loose leading to additional action height, and couldn’t be tightened without introducing fret buzz.
The solution? A fret level and reducing the height of the bridge, allowing the saddle and truss rod to be adjusted appropriately.

This violin needed a new bridge and soundpost fitting and a fresh set of strings. (In fact the old bridge had actually been lost at some point, so that was a very easy choice!). The soundpost fit was a bit of a challenge due to the very steep arching, but we got there in the end.

Lovely little violin in for some setup work last week. This one was a bit of a puzzle to fit the bridge on due to the bass bar position and neck angle, but by an incremental process of small adjustments I managed to get a reasonable result. This along with a bow rehair for the owner should provide a much more rewarding playing experience.
