Maybe you need to overbend it the other way? The cheeks look great by the way.

No, I just did some very careful drilling. One hole from the back of the extension, and then another connecting that hole to the tuning shaft.

Looks great, I was thinking a two piece extension would make routing the string around the scroll easy. Glad to see someone implement it the way I imagined. Here is an extension I finished last night.

Structurally inferior...doesn't look as nice... I guess it's okay, but I don't think it's the best way to do it.

Okay, thanks for the input. Those look quite nice Ken. I got a cheap vibe from the website, but maybe that's from the low res photos. That's unfortunate they don't stock all the models, but that's...

+1 I went from having a whittner to an ebony tailpiece, and was much happier with the sound. It also felt a lot better to bow, like the string was fighting me. It all comes down to what you're...

I think the one variable you're leaving out is the bass. It could be that your bass dislikes the change in humidity. Some people recommend a summer and winter soundpost. Your bow probably isn't going...

You'd be better off asking robertsons those questions. I will say that the small hump they put in the back is nice. There are no sharp edges and it really makes it easier to know where you are....

I was able to try a bass with the evah pirazzis at the isb convention. Keep in mind this wasn't my bass, and I didn't spend a lot of time with them. To me they seemed to bow pretty well and pizz...

I just got a Renaud garciz-Fons' Arcoluz. What an incredible player. He has an incredibly bright tone that not everyone will like, but his technique and musicality are incredible.
