Knute Reindahl (1857-1936) Maker in Chicago, Ill & Madison, WI

Rue, they're both two-toned. I bet they came from the same place? Looks like someone stripped the tops, but didn't want to deal with doing the intricate bases. Sorry, can't help with the id.

Violadamlore- This is a very difficult to understand explanation of what/where the "delta" is; I doubt that it resolved Derek Law's question. Can you give it another "go"?

Gofriller, I think you've been disappeared!

Ouch

My admittedly untrained eye tells me someone put a horrendous replacement neck/head on an otherwise decent box, and finished the whole with a terrible black "antiqueing" treatment. -
Seems strange that a real Carlo Bergonzi instrument would have ever gotten to the condition shown in the photos.

Antonio; Florence 1846

Hey!

Yes, I have quite a bit of info on him. What is your interest in him?
-
The label is not original to the instrument; it is apparently ca 1934 by Valot.

Possibly recent high sales are a result of the current inflationary trend- folks are investing more in physical items which tend to hold value, rather than leave money in the stock market or banks where it is steadily losing value.

American made-

I seem to recall some J-G violins that had bellies made of glued-up strips of Spruce; strips maybe less than an inch wide.

PVA Glue has a place in violin making/restoration. Any thoughts?

I believe this is actually 4-ply purfling, with all plys made equal width. Two white center plys were used to achieve a wider white "center" purfling. The technique was used because it was easier/faster to make all purfling strips the same width.
-
Perhaps of more interest might be the purfling. Use of the double white center strips could point to certain regional origins, and even possibly particular makers if not "schools". Do you know the origin or maker of this cello?

Matthew- I see you've also learned the necessity of being undisturbed while working in the shop. Do you have to use the tranquilizer darts often?

Looks like "Sen." (Senior) to me.

The Emperor has no clothes. -
Looks like a bridge has never set foot upon it.

And the bridge.
