I made a statement that I can tune the low body frequencies within 1 Hz, so I had to prove it to myself (humidity 25%) Why? I guess because I can :) 358 g A0 = 270 Hz (upper eye 6 mm, lower eye 9 mm, width 6 mm. measured with drill bits) B0 = 280 Hz (will drop ~10 Hz with chin rest, pegs and setup. B1- = 460 Hz (will drop to ~ 440 - 445 Hz) B1+= 545 Hz (will drop to ~ 530 - 535 Hz) B1- is sensitive to chin rest types. One rose wood chin rest lowered it 25 Hz The last 5 Hz was achieved by adjusting varnish thickness and polishing the back combined with finger board tuning. (B1+ drops 5-7 Hz when B0 gets lower than 290 Hz) The varnish is light with a shining golden ground, but reflects dark shades in different lights - it's flaming. |
