Thank you so much for making the video explaining how to set up a violin purchased online. The tips were exactly what a violin newbie needs to know!
Glad to read that, Mary Ann!
I have one of these violin shaped objects, my bridge doesn’t have a high or low side, does it matter if the “belly” is pointing to the fingerboard or towards the tailpiece?
If the bridge isn’t cut in a proper way, then place it as good as it goes even if it’s not according to the ‘rules’.
