Information you can appreciate once you are in the same situation.

Yes, it is the varnish I have cooked together with my daughter Nina in December 2019. The violin is my Carlo Antonio Testore which I made for my customer in Hong Kong and I even went to Venice to compare it with its original.
My nice working Apron I am wearing during I am working is now available in my online store here:
edgar-russ-sound-of-cremona.m...
Other colors will come in a few weeks.
I love to use my own oil varnish, which I cook myself. But I do know that this is one of the privileges we have here by working and living in a small town in Italy. If you want some of my varnish, I can send it. It is not on my online store by today, but I will prepare it as well. But first I have to make my instruments. Customers are badly waiting. By now, email me and I will send you more details.
Thanks for reading all the way to this point.
We will see us soon in another nice Video where I will show you other small details regarding what I am making.
all the best
Keep in touch and thanks for supporting in one way or another

It is soon ready, Than I will show it a little closer! Maybe it will work out that I can compare its sound with the one I made the copy of. Let´s see if the future owner has still some more patience to wait a little longer. all the best from Cremona ER

Merci!
Thanks for show us!!
Very educating to watch this video Edgar. I'm looking forward to watch how varnishing of the Testore proceeds. Thank You!
Edgar your videos are amazing, thank you. Can you talk a bit about the affect of the varnish on tone. Ive just stripped a beginners laminate factory cello and the tone is now terrible, thin, nasaly, terrible..but its ok Im going to re-varnish it for fun.
Thanks!
Dig your work, Edgar. Thanks for the videos. Are you using the oil-based varnish (that you prepared with linseed) over a coat of shellac? If so, do you lightly sand the shellac to allow the oil to penetrate into the wood? Or, is this one of your spirit-based varnishes?
I love the colour it turned out! It looks light and warm like honey. Does it need more coats of varnish, and can it stay a light colour by the end?
Your the best. What do I is to clean the Brush.
Hello Edgar I am interested in purchasing some oil varnish thanks JP
How many layers when you painting the violin sir?
Do you ever use Propolis tincture and sunlight to darken and colour the raw wood surface?
Please tell me what kind of red colors I can add to my shellac to varnish my violin. Please refer to many colors because I am living in a small city without access to various materials. By doing so, I may find one of them. And please say your idea about saffron. Thanks.
Hi my friend, I made my amber violin varnish with ambar from Mexico, How many layers of varnish do you recommend so as not to affect the sound?
What is your main reason for adding other colour's to each instrument? Is it because your clients request it? You appear to use what artist call natural camel hair brushes (squirrel tail). Is that the best choice? Would some other type leave a better finish? Its really not esoteric to me, just seeking the best results is why. Enjoy your all your videos. Thank you.
What is the thing used at last to coat and protect the varnish?
Can I mix a few drop of oil based paint with Shellac solution? I want to make Red-Brown. My shellac is light brown naturally, so I need a little red. Can I do this?
How much is one set of your paint sir?
Edgar, at 0:41 you mention that something you always do is a layer of shellac first. Is this the sealer that you use, rather than a linseed oil seal? Is this shellac dissolved in alcohol/spirit or something else? I'm not certain how I want to seal my violin before I varnish it.

this is probably alcohol saturated with shellac! (add until it doesn't dissolve anymore) kzread.info/dash/bejne/gnmbttWjZtHLYdI.html this video shows someone doing that but with mastic (another resin) instead.
what is that violin made of , theres no tell tale signs of flamed maple on the back or sides

the back and sides look well flamed to me....
I've made my own oil varnish and am using it for the first time. I've left it for about a day to dry but it's still a bit sticky and tacky to the touch. Do I need to put it out in the sun for it to dry and harden properly? Or is my varnish not going to work?

Hello, Im curious how you did make your varnish? I'm on the same track but also have the problem with sticky varnish. Please tell me!
Does the casein layer go inside AND outside before that layer of shellac? Or just inside?
@celticfiddles6988
Жыл бұрын
I think Edgar said it was just inside.
How many varnish layers?
Edgar, question, i prefere not to use a uv box for several reasons, but we don't have to much sun, is it possible to dry it behind glas(windows)?
Ciao dove compri i pigmenti?
