large 7/8 or small 4/4? LOB 350mm: What do I call it?
Dwight Brown replied to Michael Richwine's topic in The Pegbox
Full size. My Matsuda after the Lafont Del Gesu is 351mm and I'm not a pixie :-) I think generally most violin family measurements are done with a tape. Yes I am geeky enough to own a giant vernier caliper but I record stuff with some cool Starrett brand tape measures I have found. (anybody have a favorite?) DLB -
I was thinking the frog looked rather low and the cut out seemed rather deep. Maybe I am just not seeing it correctly ? DLB

This fairly ordinary Finkle viola bow is up for auction at Tarisio. Did someone carve out the front of the frog on this bow. The area looks kind of odd. https://tarisio.com/auctions/auction/lot/?csid=2199617536&cpid=3815129088&filter_key= DLB

Perhaps William Johnson. There appears to be two notches one each in the lower corners of the head mortise. https://www.thehillbow.com/william-g-johnston/ I am no expert, I’m sure someone more qualified will be by. DLB

Need help getting value of this Joseph Guarnerius

It would be vanishingly rare to find a real Guarneri of any stripe, but not completely impossible. DLB -

The first thing to do would be to take some pictures of the violin and let us see what it looks like. The label inside the violin is easily faked. DLB -

I had this sort of thing in my lab and they worked well and were safe. It may be too small and overkill as far as temperature control goes. Joe R. Probably has more experience than anyone cooking the magic stuff. :-) DLB

It took some calibration but I'm using a sensorpush in my instrument room. As Maestro Burgess has stated before accuracy of Hygrometers remains a problem. There are some calibration bags that let you test your devices at several different humidity levels. I have had mixed results with them. As far as I can find Chilled Mirror Hygrometers are more accurate but really only practical for museums and perhaps very valuable private collections. https://www.instrumart.com/products/46086/michell-instruments-s8000-chilled-mirror-hygrometer DLB

They are very nice. I have a couple. DLB
