When it comes to make the ff-hole fluting1<\/a><\/sup>, this is the region where wood gets removed (out of Making the Violin<\/a> manual), ie, in violin making jargon<\/em>, the lower wing of the ff-hole gets scooped out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Does it improve the sound? No. (however, do see Sam Z.’s video by the end of this post…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does it make any improvements at all? Only to the design<\/em> and beauty<\/em> of the piece, ie, it’s purely aesthetic<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OF COURSE there are discussions about this at Maestronet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When to do it? One can do the ff-hole fluting before cutting the ff-holes or after. Look at this example where the fluting was done before (by Derek Roberts<\/a> violins):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some fluting are quite shy<\/em> whereas others are quite pronounced<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I’m inventing new violin making lingo as I go, great. It’ll never be used by anyone else – gladly so – nevertheless, I’m doing it).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Look at the first example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How slick2<\/a><\/sup> is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Look at another example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

That Maestronet article mentions this ff-hole fluting style as made by Aristide Cavalli (Cremona, 1932), however, I have found no further evidence to substantiate it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It looks, hmm, good? Extravagant? Vanguardish? Weird? I’ll let you decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See this video<\/a> by Strad3D project when discussing ff-hole designs (this is a must see video!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
