Restoring an Amati copy violin Part 1: Making a plaster cast of the top plate

This is the 1st part in a series on a major restoration of an Amati copy violin. Here, I design and construct a plaster mould and then pour a cast of the instrument’s top plate. This then becomes a crucial tool for correcting significant distortions to the top arching. I’d love to hear any questions or comments, and please subscribe to stay tuned for the rest of the series! Then you can see how this lovely old violin literally got pieced back together.
