Alf Gouck Violins

Violin Making

I handmake violins in the traditional manner.

These photographs show the process I use to form the arching on the violin.

Planing the violin

The tools used range from and include rasps, files, gouges, thumb planes and scrapers for finishing, prior to the varnish and setting of the instrument which includes bridge soundpost and strings.
