  1. Sometimes you can take a photo with your phone through the button hole at the bottom of the violin and see the inside of the top without the need for an endoscope.
  2. Most Luthiers are ok with being strapped to a lie detector test, so just be friendly, show up with the equipment, and ask.
  3. Good idea, you start!
  4. Don't worry, it survived!
  5. ok!
  6. no
  7. From Leonidas Kavakos' Facebook: Greetings from LA! Feeling overwhelmed, super excited, in awe, with 3 Stradivarius violins on my lap!!! From left to right, the Ex Kreisler from 1711, my Willemotte from 1734 and the Ex Milstein from 1716! Definitely a highlight!
  8. Gorgeous cello from JS and violin from BF, thanks both for sharing.
  9. Speaking for everyone on this forum, we all need some closure here.
  10. Beautiful, thanks for sharing these wonderful images.
  11. Is the Buzz still nagging you or have you worked it out?
  12. Are there any features that would definitely rule in or out your “Chinese copy” theory?
  13. Thanks Martin! Who is an authority on these instruments if you wanted to push this further?
  14. Perhaps there’s a skilled copiest that you suspect?
  15. What are your thoughts? Legit? too rare to tell? Chinese copy of reference example?
