on his new 7 string classical guitar created by me. I fell so honored that this great player trusted me to build him this instrument. I am really happy with the result and they are already a great match for each other.

Some process shots the bridge being build. This one is for a seven stringed guitar with a wider tie block.
I saw the routing jig on some guitar builders Instagram, and had to try it. It works really well and saves a lot of time. The end picture was taken mid polish.

Read in danish about Liv Bendstrup and her cool cello we built together 🤙🎸

Hvad sker der, når klassisk instrumentbygning møder nysgerrighed, teknologi og modet til det uforudsigelige 🎻💥👀

Det kan du blive klogere på i en artikel fra magasinet MESTER, hvor lyddesigner og komponist Nina Liv Bendstrup og guitarbygger Henrik Ballowitz fortæller om den helt særlige cello, som de har bygget. Celloen kombinerer traditionelt strengeinstrumenthåndværk med moderne teknologiske elementer, og den 15 kilo tunge cello er håndbygget til Nina.

Og hvis du inden at have læst artiklen kan gætte, hvilket navn Nina har givet celloen, så er der en stor vaffelis på højkant.
