looks to me like scam page https://www.latestcore.top/a-beautiful-old-french-violin-bassot-19th-century-p-7651.html https://www.ebay.it/itm/A-beautiful-old-French-violin-Bassot-19th-century/292034798960 https://www.latestcore.top/19th-century-german-master-violin-video-antique-geige-violino-p-8953.html

Label says (in Czech language) 'tovarna na hudebni nastroje' that means 'musical instrument factory'

Looks to me like Salzkammergut with later purfling on top,but I don't know much about it so I can be completely wrong

Among various old violin accesories I have found these four Hill's chinrests

I think he uses formula 2*weight*1000/((A+B)*C*D)

There is only written that he was self-taught and worked in Velky Osek, Kolin and Kutna Hora at 1920-1935

Is there normal bassbar or special as written in book?

From book Cesti houslari (Czech violinmakers) by Karel Jalovec (translated by me with my english:)) 'Polak Josef, Velky Osek, Kutna Hora, Kolin, 1920-1935. Self-taught that worked after Stradivari; inserted to violins special bassbar of his own construction.'

everything

here are sound samples, first is my violin, second is real Storioni, both recorded at same circumstances with Steinway piano, unfortunately with phone so it is not very informative because of low quality of recording Husle_c_18_kubo.m4a Ref2.m4a

never seen before this kind of fine tuner from Amati auction violin

Thanks, doesn't look very similar to my eye. Forgot to mention LOB is 353mm

I would like to ask if this violin could be Strnad or something like that? Where remain original varnish it is rich red-brown, it has original neck(neck angle is changed at root) Thanks

Storioni violin.

If you call every spline that break 'badly executed', than you are right. Too bad you never know if particular spline is good, you only can say it was bad after it is too late. And possibly, should you live another 100 years, you will find that all of splines were 'badly executed'
