Most parts are cnc-carved. The body is usually carved from a single block of wood, but for my cnc, I split it into three parts, including a decorative strip of amaranth.

Vibrating string length 29.5cm (3/4 violin). Strings are Aquila F-Red superior tension, G-D-A.

Materials used: maple, spruce, amaranth, ebony.

Very cool - where does one get the tuning pegs? Or did you make those too?

Those are standard (albeit fancy) "french eye" tuning pegs from Thomann Germany. The endpin is in the same style. Maybe for the next instrument I will try to make them myself.
