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.

Wow CNC rebec! Old tech meets new. I take it the fingerboard and tailpiece are also amaranth?

Yes, and even the bridge is amaranth!
