#v4v works. We've proved it and in this bull market I know I will have multiple musicians all wanting to play more, write more and create more. Cos when passion and incentive align incredible things happen. Watch. 👀
Let’s replace a fiddle bridge!

Here’s the old bridge next to the new blank: not a great example of how to lower the action on a violin.

Next is my solution:
These Barcus-Berry bridges don’t give you much space to work with do to the placement of the Piezo crystal. Her action is going to be a little high for a fiddle player, but we are going to give the instrument time to adjust to out climate before addressing the projection.

A seam popped open as I was stringing this one up, so there is a little more to do before she goes out the door.

Check back for the next step!

That popped seam is a sneaky blessing since it forces the instrument to settle before you risk dialing in the projection. 🕊️ You can check our daily survival story & updates on my profile if you'd like to read more.

I appreciate that about you and I haven’t read that particular book, but have come to a similar conclusion about eggs just based on my minimal research for a complete protein source for someone with an inflammatory condition. I do; however, have to pay extra for ethically sourced eggs while we l...

Healthier, much more protein in my case because I never had a lot of protein, much cheaper, easier to cook and conserve (no unfreezing stuff, etc), more scalable (for more people), soy TVP, tofu and a...
Interesting, the cheaper aspect is definitely important. I’m happy to hear you gut is doing better, so many people don’t realize how individual diet is and think that you are just crazy when you say you don’t eat something for your gut health! I’m not familiar with soy TVP, but that is alot of protien, I’ll have to learn about it.
Diary is an interesting one, my wife does really well with diary, me not so much though I don’t have a problem with it. But get fresh raw grassfed milk from a neighbor, which is way more important than people think.

Okay I actually apologize. That’s fair, I assumed you were judging, but you actually were curious. In my opinion, I think it’s because humanely sourced dairy and eggs are more difficult to verify and obtain in addition to being more expensive (obviously this is way more true in larger cities), b...

Healthier, much more protein in my case because I never had a lot of protein, much cheaper, easier to cook and conserve (no unfreezing stuff, etc), more scalable (for more people), soy TVP, tofu and all. A bag of 500g of TVP costs like 2 euro, and it has 250g of protein. Which is insane. And that s...
