DESCRIPTION:
This video from Mike Griffin demonstrates the basics of how to reset a sound post in a violin using the Gemini Sound Post Setter.

The Gemini sound post setter tool is a dramatic improvement over the traditional sound post setter design. Rather than piercing the sound post with a sharp tip, our patent pending device holds the sound post securely against the saddle at the tip of the tool without causing any damage to the sound post. This makes it easy to insert the sound post through the f-hole and into proper position without the risk of the sound post becoming dislodged as could happen with a traditional sound post tool. In addition, the fixed geometry of the sound post and tool assembly allows you to precisely locate the sound post within the instrument. Finally, our unique release mechanism gently releases the tool from the sound post once it is in position.

This tool greatly benefits stringed instrument teachers because it allows them to quickly reset sound posts in student instruments, instead of sending them out for repair. This minimizes cost while maximizing practice time for the student.
