    My thoughts also. I heard him talk about this in a "Luthier on Luthier" podcast. https://luthieronluthier.libsyn.com/53-mario-beauregard "Luthier on Luthier" is an interesting podcast series. For every adventurous violin maker, there are a bunch more on the guitar side. They seem less bound by tradition than we are. Some of the guitar crowd has embraced torrefied wood use for instance to get that "vintage Martin sound". Another thing I find interesting is the guitar makers use of different kinds of bracing. I enjoy listening to the podcasts.

    Mario Beauregard makes "facetts" guitars that have ridges on both the top and back. He claims tonal benefits. He places the ridges on nodal lines. It has been patented at least for guitar. http://beauregardguitars.com/guitars/facettes/

    Do you think the top was original to the instrument or was it to replace a damaged top? Does it have the characteristic Andrea arching or more like a filius?

    That is a very common place for the ivory face to crack on the tip. Can be caused by a bow plug that is slightly too wide. The bow looks in decent shape. Used to own a bow just like it.

    Had the pleasure of studying with him one summer. He had a really nice Strad. Did not notice any painted on flames. What I did notice was that he was not in that great of health. Sadly he passed away shortly after. Fantastic player.

    I remember Hans Nebel telling us to “profusely pre-apologize “ when getting the spouse to assist in gluing plates to the rib garland!

    True Jackson. Played some that were pretty underwhelming.

    Retouching even with clear can be a slippery slope. Matching the level of gloss or matt is tricky. Color matching is one of the most daunting things in restoration.

    I would suggest contacting Eugene Holtier on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/eugene.holtier. I'm sure he would answer your concerns. Please let us know what you find out as I have this varnish but not have used it yet.

    Don't tell me you worked on Explorer 1. You look very young for your age. Did you know von Braun? Lol

    Wow Don the Hubble mirror problem was quite a bugger. The tolerances are crazy. And I just thought you were a "rover guy".

    Does anyone know if there is a program that color codes the thicknesses of plates? There used to be a program by Hans Pluhar but it is down http://www.hanspluhar.com/violingraduation.html. Something like this would be nice;

    Greg Alf’s article in the Strad about the Messiah neck is very interesting.
