I have been reading up on this whole thing and Bradford has been a great help bringing me along. Somebody here somewhere posted some videos about hand building and it was making violins. One thing the maker said was the binding/purfeling on a violin stick out and received the banging around. Then he said you see really old violins but not guitars so much because they are broken because they do not have the same edge treatment. If this is true why do makers not build with the same binding if it is so much better. Or maybe this is not totally true.
My thought was as a first time builder this would be easier to make such a binding.
Any thoughts about this would be great, I am a ways away from doing binding. Cheers Ron.
