    A little safety warning

    As an extreme sports practitioner, all these little 'Just in case' practises are non negotiable and I think the same for wood working as highlighted here. Do anything long enough and the 1% chance accident will happen... Safe working to you all!

    Hola from Kent / Instrument Maker

    Was just a bit confusingly wrote, but thanks for caring. The Instrument I made doesn't have frets (which actually allows chords to be played much more in tune than can be managed on a Guitar for example), but also means learning to play in tune without frets which is a bit of a lifelong project...

    Previous poster has it! Yeah, it's for softwood, but I use it on hardwood a bunch. Can see them at around 2 minutes in - They sometimes use enormous ones as you can see. Looks fun!

    Hola from Kent / Instrument Maker

    ? I don't really understand your point sorry. The number of strings an instrument can 'tolerate' is to do with the strength of the soundboard (it's thickness, stiffness, size and wood type)... My Instrument doesn't have frets? And frets don't affect how many strings one can place on an Instrument.

    The player is holding my Englische Violett, which is a replica of the Instrument behind her on the far right. The 'inner' 2 of the 4 Instruments are a Baryton and Viola D'amore - A Baryton is a Viola Da Gamba with the back of the neck open - It has extra strings going through the next (as do all...

    Hola from Kent / Instrument Maker

    Ironically think the distinction would make someone feel less welcome haha... But I'm male, the photo is of a German player, playing the instrument for me at a performance.
