The “Four Circles” of the Violin: The Corner Equations
<p>In<a href="https://eu-u6.medium.com/the-four-circles-of-the-violin-the-body-equations-ca41046389ca" rel="noopener"> Part 2</a>, I derived five generalised equations to describe the body of violin, based off Kevin Kelly’s <a href="http://www.kellyviolins.com/design-page.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Four Circles</a> system. In this section, I will complete the generalisation of the violin outline by deriving expressions for the corners of the violin.</p>
<p><strong>Terminology</strong></p>
<p>Adhering to my terminology in Part 2, “body” refers to the area enclosed by the lower, centre, and upper bouts, while “violin” denotes the entire soundbox and includes the corners and the body. I will use “corner” to refer to the aesthetic projections on the sides of the violin.</p>
