What rubbers would pair well with the Violin these days? I might also consider Chinese rubbers.

Thanks for the suggestion peter79! Unfortunately I don't think it is available on pingpongonline.com where I mostly get my stuff here in the Philippines.

Recently i decided to try my old love - 75 gr. Violin how good is with the new balls. I put a spare Rasant (actualy i play with Rasant since then, cause it was the best mach i found with a Violin for me) on it and wow... so good that i started to bother my mind , what was the reason to put it off? Maybe it wasn't so good before. Maybe i have to leave my TBS and return back to it ? .... And i bought myselve Viscaria for Christmas to find are there any differences with a TBS. Damn EJ LOL

Join club! I got a acoustic C-pen, custom order. 
Feels very solid even though it is a 5-plywood.

Don't you feel Violin is outdated for a power looper with new PB?

I loved it, but traded mine because I need too much power to finish the rallies...

Hi Clan Members, I was trying to find evidence that Nittaku use hide glue for the String series. The print on the blades and the ads I saw say they use same techniques and technology as in strings instruments manufacturing, but not the type of glue. I have talked to instrument makers and they tend not to use hide glue any longer because there are better and more convenient alternatives, nowadays. I went as far as translating some of Nittaku's advertising images from Japanese by using OCR, but could not find any reference to hide glue. Maybe we have to debunk a myth?
The secret of Violin & co. is likely still in the glue and/or glueing process, just... it may not be hide glue. Anyone knows for sure?

I do have a hard time imagining a production line involving hide glue and that's why I trust people like Borko Dragolivic who builds $4000 guitars and owns 200 tt blades he did not build; he uses hide glue for the blades he builds. I suggest you contact him and ask him, I would be very interested in another interview that you would take on.
[...]
I think this interview is one of the gold nuggets of the forum and from there you could build more:would be so kind to contact Borko and ask him if he would be willing to talk about hide glue again? its benefits (he says epoxy is like another ply...) and how relevant it still is in the age of the new ball?

Hello fatt,
thanks for your kind words and the challenge. Unfortunately, as much as I would like to dig deeper into the issue, I simply lack the time, not to mention the skill, to prepare an interview. Moreover, even if I had, I feel I am not very competent in talking about the new ball. In the last two years I had little time to practice TT and I feel I simply don't have enough experience with it.
I truly hope you will contact him and continue the interview. There's a lot to learn from his experience!

This said, I was actually interested in the secret of Violin. It does play and feel unlike any other blade I tried. I especially love the way it vibrates. Even Acoustic and Tenor feel completely different and muted in comparison (which is good or bad, depending on your taste).
Yinhe E-4 has similar construction to Violin but plays very different. Nexy Lissom has white ash top plies, but different construction: it's a spin machine, but it's not a Violin.
So if Violin's secret is not the white ash plies, and not the hide glue, what is it then? My suspicion is that it still in the special type of glue that is used, that permeates deeply in the wood without creating a "layer" like epoxy. Just, it's likely not hide glue. But I'm just speculating...

Just in case you wonder whether Violin has a milled handle or not... it does. At least the LG version.
Yesterday my Violin slipped out of my hand and dropped to the floor while I was collecting it from the table and one handle part broke off. Just so. It must have fallen on a tsubo, as I never thought that a handle may come off so easily.

Now I wonder what glue I should use to glue the parts back together. Though there is no evidence that Nittaku actually uses hide glue for their strings series (see my previous posts), I would still be more comfortable in using hide glue than others, just in case.

However, since using real hide glue is cumbersome and I never did before, I thought of maybe getting some Titebond Liquid Hide Glue, instead. Any advice?
(Note: I know I have to sand the surfaces, prior to applying glue.)

Well I'm back to this club after 5 years in a row playing with Rosewood V.
I was trying my spare acoustic for a while the other day and immediately felt in love with it. It's almost as fast a RWV but way easier to control, specially for short game, so now I'm able to land on the table a few balls more than before, and my overall game is more balanced right now. Maybe I don't have the raw power as before, but its a wiser choice for anyone that can't train more than 4h a week.

very well said. Best tribute to the nittaku violin ever. I have 2 and won't sell them because I'll buy some more in a year like I've done 5 or 6 times already. It's my home blade I come back to when in doubt. So much spin, control, the blocking and short game are divine while not being slow from mid distance: no 5-ply all wood can compete with it.

sorry to hear that. Tidebond liquid hide glue will be close enough, don't sweat it just do it, you'll feel proud to make it work again.

I would strongly endorse Elmer's Professional Wood glue. I have used it on handle and other blade repairs with great results.  The bond will be stronger than the original wood itself.  Joe

I meant Acoustic, not Violin .

I loved violin before the glue ban, I would surely keep using it if I could speed glue or add some boosters but I feel it's kinda slow for modern power loopers

Mid-hard rubbers will be nice on Acoustic since it´s quite soft blade.

Yesterday night I tested a vega tour with omega v Asia 2.0 fh and rasanter r47 bh. I needed 5 games v. a strong 1800 friend I beat 3-0 last time with the violin + r47 2.0 x2. Then I went back with that violin setup and played a strong 2k, won 3-1 after leading 2-0. The opening loop is the best that setup does while I was not often too long like the match before.
The spin of r47 on a flexy 5-ply is phenomenal and we're talking about rubbers that are 2.5 months! BEST COMBO EVER!!!

after my comeback to Acoustic I realized why I quit using using it. It's quite head heavy and I don't like the gap at your hand grabbing the handle.

My RWV has exactly  the same weight but the master handle is way better and feels more balanced.

Those that own Acoustic L-Size, how's the shape of FL L-Size handle? Is it's squarish or rounded type? Has it got the same issue being so head heavy?

The reason I didn't buy me an Acoustic was the popular opinion that the blade is head heavy. Recently I bought a Latika FL and although people were saying it is head heavy as well I found it to be reasonable with Aeolus(very heavy) and T64. BTW this blade is maybe the best in a period of extensive testing and EJ'ing. Simply love it

fatt, JoeB,
thanks. I finally repaired my Violin using hide glue. Real hide glue, not liquid hide glue. It was not straightforward, and I had to do some tests on some scrap pieces of wood until I got the viscosity and the speed right, but I learned a lot.

All,
to finally answer the question of whether Nittaku use hide glue for their strings series blades, I plan to get one and heat it up to 55-60 C: if there's hide glue, it will melt, the layers will detach, and the blade will be wrecked. For obvious reasons I'm not willing to do this with my Violins.
So I'm looking for an Acoustic, Violin, Tenor, or Vio(lo)ncello in poor, very poor, or broken condition.
If you have one, let me know via PM. Blade must be original: ideally, you have proof of purchase from a reliable shop.

If you want to know, too, and want to contribute, you may toss me a few bucks via PayPal. I will then get an original blade from an official Nittaku reseller for the test. If the blade does not come apart, I will sell it and return the money.

Hi I would like to join this clan if not to late :)

My Violin LG FL and Acoustic Carbon Inner LG FL will arrive soon

I also would like to ask if you also seal the handle of Violin and Acoustic?
Is orange oil safe to use for sealing the handle?

It was said that Acoustic is a improved violin. But the wood structure is totally different. Acoustic does not have ash top layer, right?

Not kidding, but I'm not planning to build my own blades. I just want to know the truth about Violins and hide glue.
It would be safer to start with Violin Carbon (the carbon layers are most certainly not glued with hide glue, as it does not stick to composite fibres), but there's a chance that the intermediate layers are glued to the core with hide glue, so I won't do this to my Violin Carbon either... at least not before I have finished testing it. LOL
But if I tried, and it resisted heating up to 55-60C, we would still not know whether the original Violin is glued with hide glue. But at least the VC would not have been harmed.
