CARBON FIBER VIOLIN

We performed many experiments on dozens of violin plates using the three production methods described above. We conducted a tonal ring test on each of the violin plates and the results were very different from each method. Tapping the wet layup & infusion violin plates sounded like tapping on a drinking glass. Tapping on the Autoclaved violin plates sounded like tapping on a crystal glass. This expensive process yielded such incredible acoustical tonal qualities that we decided to use this method for all 23 parts of our violin... The most difficult aspect of copying the Strad violin was duplicating the scroll in Carbon Fiber. A proprietary method we have developed has allowed us to duplicate the scroll and still maintain a light weight by giving the scroll a hollow interior... The Gayford Carbon Strad is the most technically advanced Carbon Fiber Violin in the world. The first time you play our Carbon Fiber Violin you will immediately notice the tremendous power that it produces...
