Did these folks use a different technique (ex. a lower-tension bow hold) to maintain their tone?
-
Does anyone know of any violinists who were able to continue playing with a nice sound in their 80s or 90s?
-
Do you know what Boise d'Harmonie charges?
-
Does anyone make replica's of Vuillaume's Messiah tailpiece?
-
My intuition tells me that they don't have any instruments to audition.
-
Who wants to bet that these violins are sent to the "Hill" shop "in the white"...?
-
Snake oil? More like something that comes from male steer... I doubt any of these violins will change hands at that price. I'm surprised if they have more than a couple manufactured and in stock.
-
Depends on what type of repair work was done. I'd guess between $500-$1250.
-
The two cases aren't analogous. W.E. Hill operated continuously under the control of the Hill family from the 1800s to the 1990s. Bugatti changed hands several times.
-
How much do these "workshop" instruments cost? And what do these instruments have, if anything, in common with previous Hill shop violins?
-
The tuner is not digging into the top. The photos were taken in a poor lighting condition with an iPhone. I didn't have a lot of time, and wanted to take a few to share with the forum here. I will get some better shots in a couple weeks. The violin still had its original baroque neck when my friend purchased it from Hill (it has a Hill certificate). Anthony Wrona changed the neck/grafted the scroll in the late 1980s.

This is a 1752 Sebastian Kloz that my friend purchased from W.E. Hill in the late 1960s. Opinions?
-
The problem is I can't get it down to ~100 or lower. I can only get the bow to bounce when it is near a tremolo and cannot articulate individual notes. So - move the bow farther up? Thanks

Does anyone here have experience with CNC violin making?
