How do you put a sound post on a violin?
Does a violin need a sound post?
The tiny wooden dowel is hidden inside the violin, close to the bridge. But experts know that the sound post plays a very important role. Not only does it support the top of the instrument. The sound post also can alter the tone dramatically, and completely change the sound depending on the position or angle.
How long should a violin sound post be?
The ideal bass bar distance from the outside of the bridge foot or the ideal soundpost distance from the outside of the bridge foot to the soundpost are exactly the same: for Violin I recommend 1,25mm as a good standard for everyone. for Viola between 1,5 mm to 1,75mm.
