Guit-Fiddle
"Some years ago I made a piccolo model of a Stradivari guitar as a music box. I left an overhanging edge similar to the violin but glued the ribs into a channel cut into the top and back. I decided to use this as the basis of my maple-edged Amiata violin. Inspired by Stradivari's guitar and viola d'amore forms, I eliminated the corners in my prototype and, due to its guitar shape, I dubbed the project the Guit-Fiddle, after the nickname B.B. King gave his guitar." Raymond SchryerFor more information about the Guit-Fiddle read October 2005 Strad Trade Secrets article "Maple Edging" |
