Anemia is usually classified based on the size of RBCs, as measured by the mean corpuscular volume (MCV). Anemia can be microcytic (MCV typically less than 80 Î¼m3 [80 fL]), normocytic (80 to 100 Î¼m3 [80 to 100 fL]), or macrocytic (greater than 100 Î¼m3 [100 fL]).
Place the bridge on the violin in its place and using a pencil, I use a carpenter pencil with the end flat, scribe a line on both sides of the feet. This will give you the angle you need for the bridge feet. Slowly cut the feet down to this line making the feet slightly thicker than 1/16 inch. When finished, place the bridge on top of the violin, at the proper angle, ninety degrees at the back. Check the fit by shining a light under the feet.
Cut a 1-foot section of serving thread from a spool. Wrap the thread around the bow string 2 inches below the damage. Tie a single overhand knot in the thread. Pull each end of the thread to the opposite side of the knot and tie another overhand knot. Continue alternating the knots until you are 2 inches above the damaged section. Tie a double overhand knot on the final wrap to secure the serving repair. Cut the ends of the serving thread, leaving a small tag on each.
