I used to cut gems and have glasses similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Qooltek-Headband-Magnifying-Interchangeable-0-2-10-2/dp/B078JPRH2Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=jewelers+glasses&qid=1560641598&s=gateway&sr=8-3

You cursed your violin by removing it!

Hendrik, I think you’ll find it was meant as humor.

This is as labeled, but as BF mentioned they use a mix of Mirecourt and others....and relabel and doctor/upgrade others. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163720144728

Do you have a JACOB SAUNDERS label kicking around?

I would suggest selling them as they are...

I think that has been discussed on here numerous times and it is a combination between what they feel it is worth and what the seller feels it’s worth. If an item only has one interested bidder then it goes cheap. If there are two people with deep pockets that want something bad then the price goes way up beyond the estimate.

Would love a link to Rogers article if you come across it again. I am no expert but am trying to learn what I can. I have never heard of any instruments made with an inside mold that did not have corner blocks, so I would be very interested in reading the article. Thanks

If it was made with an inside mould wouldn’t it have corner blocks from the git-go?

I just had an English fiddle arrive in multiple pieces thanks to it being shipped in a holster case, covered with tape and not even placed in a box....some peoples kids.

I saw this on eBay, don’t walk...RUN

A picture is worth 1000 words.....

Bobelock half-moon cases, can store 4-5 Bon musicas. I like my quality older cases but have started to use these to store quite a few. Good case for the money.

The media always gets it right

You are more apt to find it if you publicly post the maker and number! Photos would be even better!
