Nearly all parts finished

The smaller parts have been finished in the last days.
The tuningpins were allready half-finished and have been shaped in their final form.
I've decided to fit the tailpiece with an iron pin like the Linarol's. (On the drawing the hole for the pin is drawn but in the original instrument it has been replaced by a conventional fitting)
The pin is ready.
So the only part that has to be made is the bridge.

I hope to put alle the parts together this weekend.

From the bass I learned that the top will sink slightly under the pressur of the strings. I guess  the bridge will have to be replaced by a higer one after some time.
