mendicus

I have received it,here is in comparison to viola

Why do you think scroll is from other violin?

Sorry to post it again but I think it didn't caught enough attention in my old thread. LOB is 349mm(measured with caliper), scroll fluted to bitter end, it is not typical BOB(rib were not clamped together as you can see on photos), violin have original baroque neck with changed angle at root, looks revarnished to me. Black part of purfling is probably ebony. Lower rib is two pieces Interesting feature is that f hole notch is only on inner side What do you think it could be? Or at least what it is not?

Sorry I didn't PM you, because I was bidding this time:) Hope you didn't, I would feel sorry for you

I plan to make copy(or inspired by) of this Gofriller viola

here is photo of original viola for comparison

Gasparo da Salo baroque viola, tailpiece and nut not yet made

I bought from him wood for my first cello as he was about 50 km from where I lived then, he have large hall full of wood, he was very nice, made me cup of tea and we talked a bit.When I was leaving, he drove me to bus stop because I haven't had car.

I don't think you can buy his violin for $25000 you mention in Strad thread

sold for $5100 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Old-High-Quality-Italian-German-Violin-23-w-2-Bows-French-Lyon-Healy-Geib-/132747175316?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137

because of pointed purfling and also place and period where it could be from looked correct to me. What could you say about its origin or age?

I can't find stamps.There is unreadable remnant of label and repairer's on treble side.Can be stamp under that label? Still not Voigt after rotation? or with worn corners?
