Soundposts are made from air-dried Spruce wood from the Alpine slopes. Each post is handmade and undergoes multiple processes for a high-quality finish.
The sound post in a bowed instrument has two functions: structural and acoustic. It's part of a harmonic design that produces pleasant overtones. Violin makers make the post themselves or buy it from suppliers. After positioning and stringing the instrument, minor adjustments are made using the ear. The sound post is crucial for sound quality. Animato Strings adjusts it perfectly. Contact us for any doubts.

The sound post in a bowed instrument has both structural and acoustic functions. It's part of a harmonic design where all resonances work together to produce pleasant overtones. Stradivari's violins (made by Amati) are unique due to a comprehensive harmonic system, similar to tuning a car engine and exhaust system.
The sound post and bass bar are essential components of stringed instruments. They support different sides of the instrument, with the sound post supporting the treble side and the bass bar supporting the bass side. The sound post is a spruce dowel that helps produce proper sound. It must fit perfectly and is placed behind the treble side bridge foot. Violin makers buy suitable dowels from suppliers, but for better instruments, they make them themselves using a sharp knife to remove material until it fits perfectly.
After positioning and stringing the instrument, minor adjustments are made to the sound post using the ear. A well-fitted post can improve the sound of a bowed instrument. If you bought from Animato Strings, it was adjusted perfectly. Contact us to assess if you still need to.
