scordatura

Actually glad to hear that because I could not place the F holes or instrument model! Very nice by the way!

What GDG is the above modeled after?

David A.T. You could make a macro function and/or a template file in excel to do the work. Probably easier than trying to explain how to do it. You could post the macro here for people to use. And before someone chimes in, yes macros can be used to do evil things...

Like the color!

Heifetz played on unwound gut D and A. He used a steel E and metal wound on gut G.

I am also curious about this. Here is a link with some discussion I would suggest using Google to search for things on MN. The native search engine is so-so. e.g. Kremer rosin oil site:maestronet.com

Not sure how much they are doing with cases/accessories lately but here is their contact info https://beinfushi.com/contact/.

Amorim Violins

La Casa Nuziale

Cremona tools!

By artists medium, do you mean tube color or dry pigments?

The pics really don't convey their beauty. Even better in person!

DHad the chance to visit Cremona this summer. It is a charming town, especially for connoisseurs of bowed string instruments. I was there only a day and a half. I Wish that I could have spent more time there! Hopefully this will inspire people to visit. First up is my visit with Davide Sora. I had a chance to see two of his violins and play one. Gorgeous instruments! The violin played great for an unplayed fiddle. Davide is as we know a master maker who is willing to share his time and information. I wish that I had taken more pics. Mille grazie Davide. More to come.
