HOW IS LAMINATION DONE?

It’s really not all that complicated. The three layers for the sides of this baritone were pre-bent using the standard hot pipe technique. After glue is thinly applied with a roller, the layers are clamped in the mold using a flexible caul and a lot of C-clamps. The back is “clamped” into a concave mold with vacuum pressure.
