Copper Rib-Shaping Tool for Violin and Viola Making

Prepare curved side-board work with a dedicated copper rib-shaping tool for violin and viola making.

✅ Use a tool for the rib stage - The form is intended for work on the curved side pieces of the instrument.

✅ Keep the operation with your making tools - A separate workshop tool supports the planned rib-shaping stage of the project.

Match the tool to the side-board work

Compare the tool's actual shape and dimensions with the violin or viola ribs you intend to work on before purchase. A dedicated rib tool should be selected around the required curve and workshop method rather than the instrument name alone.

Prepare the work area and follow the appropriate instrument-making procedure for the supplied tool. Check any required supporting equipment separately, since the product is the copper tool rather than an assumed complete heating or shaping system.
