PetzVienna presents a new device to assist violin makers in soundpost adjustments, an indispensible item for any luthier’s toolkit
Violin makers Giacomo Margiacchi and Andrea Varazzani have developed an incredible tool.
At its first presentation during the akustika trade fair in Nuremberg, many of the violin makers present were enthusiastic and have already ordered this device.
The Soundpost Station is an innovative device designed to simplify one of the most delicate operations in the construction, restoration, and maintenance of string instruments: optimising the soundpost.
It is possible to create a surface with a precise angle through fine adjustment of the plates, making it easy to cut the two faces of the soundpost accurately.
Once the correct angles are determined, a simple chisel can be used to slide along the plane, allowing for extremely precise cutting of the two soundpost faces.
The Soundpost Station features adjustable hole sizes to accommodate all the main soundposts for violin, viola, and cello, thus assisting luthiers in the construction, restoration, and maintenance of the instruments.
This device is designed to replicate existing sound posts and store the angles of commonly used ones.
It is well known that over time, a soundpost may become too short after its initial installation. With the Soundpost Station, it becomes extremely simple to replace a soundpost and create a new one with increased height.
Naturally, this product, made in Italy, meets the highest standards. The materials used, the construction itself and the assembly guarantee precise workmanship and a long service life - a real interest for the discerning violin maker. Even the packaging is made and thought out in such a way that working with it is fun.
The Soundpost Station is a device that has been missing from the luthier’s essential toolkit until now.
Its ease of adjustment and use will quickly make it an indispensable tool for those who craft and maintain stringed instruments, as well as for restorers and shops.
PetzVienna will ensure prompt and professional delivery in the coming years. The Viennese wholesaler, known for its innovative product distribution, has taken over exclusive distribution for Europe and is thrilled to be able to offer such a great product.
