What is the stick inside a violin called?
The short wooden stick inside a violin, which is wedged between the front and back of a violin - just under the bridge for the strings - is called the sound post.If the sound post becomes loose - or even falls out through one of the f-shaped sound holes which are cut into the front of the violin - the sound produced by the instrument would be greatly reduced because there is no way for the vibrations from the strings to be passed from under the bridge directly to the back of the violin.If you try to tune-up the strings and then play a violin with no sound post in place, there is a high risk that the front of the violin will soon get a bad crack in the wood. This can easily happen because the stretched strings exert a high pressure on the bridge and the bridge would be supported by nothing but the very thin wood which is used to make the top of the instrument.To re-position a loose sound post you must use a specially-made metal gadget known as a "sound post positioning tool". To use the tool, its sharp end must first be inserted into a small slit you should find in the side of the sound post. You can then use the tool to hold the sound post and pass it carefully through one of the f-shaped sound holes which are cut into the front of the violin. Then you must use the tool to wedge the sound post firmly into position between the front and back of the instrument.------------This repair should not be performed as a DIY project as damage to the instrument can occur. The cost is often minimal especially if other items are purchased or other repairs are performed.Dave Lashof
