Table of contents
important for you to “dry run” the fitting, gluing, clamping
and finishing operations before trying them for real.
You’ll need a flat work surface, approximately 2' x 4' or big
enough for your violin.
Be safe when using tools, glues, and finishes. Wear eye
protection and gloves when needed, and always use
proper ventilation.
Welcome to the world of violin building! The violin you’re
about to build has a quality spruce top with curly maple sides
and back. This kit is designed for the beginner and intermedi-
ate builder, with enough of the difficult work already done
to give you a great head start. The fine handwork is left to
you, with the help of these instructions.
Please read these instructions before starting on your violin,
so you’ll understand the process and how the parts fit. It’s
