Construction templates

I recently heard that offering this type of product would deprive luthiers of the experience of developing their own violin model. Of course, in the process of developing building skills, handcrafting these elements can be fun and contributes greatly to the conception of the instrument before building it. It even serves as practice in using some tools that will be useful later.

In the workshop we generally repeat the same models to avoid developing new templates for box contours, arm, f-shaped, vaults, and above all, the planning of a new mold, which is honestly a thorn in the side to build by hand, since the entire periphery must be at a right angle, since it is a mold or support area for the ribs, and a variation in the mold could affect their uniformity.

However, it is well known that building an instrument is a lengthy process, and it takes time to complete the projects we have in mind.

The construction template project arose from the need to reduce the production time of an instrument.

This project offers a wide range of remarkable instruments, available for reproduction, with a pre-designed design, facilitating immediate construction. Especially in commercial workshops, this product saves labor hours, allowing for the possibility of offering new models to the consumer instrument maker.

For anyone interested in purchasing these templates and molds, I have developed various options that fit the budget and needs of the builder. I invite you to consult the catalog at https://www.holguinluthier.com/shop
