The Tornavoz is installed using a fillet of epoxy mixed with cotton fiber. Traditionally they would have a lip that is trapped against the soundboard by the circular wooden rosette reinforcing ring.

In order to glue the bridge later I have to brace the soundboard. Typically clamps are fitted in through the soundhole, but with the Tornavoz in place this will not be an option. Each prop has a string to pull it out with. It is essential to remember to secure the strings out at the soundhole in order to pull them!

Now the back can be glued on.

The copper has a nice glow when viewed through the soundhole.
