But nothing is insignificant in diplomacy!

No, I am actually asking for nothing, I know it pretty well and have no strong feelings about it (in either direction). I was just curious, as you put this repertoire next to crap and Kristen seemed to a Suzuki teacher. I kind of like this parallel topic in this thread it has gone the usual way anyhow...

Well, you specifically addressed the Suzuki repertoire, thats why I asked, what was so wrong with it.

Thanks!

Suzuki uses (occasionally simplified) Bach a lot...

Bach does not qualify any more?

Sry, did you mention what that was?

But of course! but could this be, in principle, possible? would the royal court advertise such details regarding a gift?

It often happened, that even in families with many childern only few grew up - life expectancy was not that great... But actually – I would wish to hope that you were right!

Few first impressions: Lower eyes of the f-s are slightly smaller at mine; shape rather similar; maple also has slightly different structure. Mine is more worn everywhere - rib corners and varnish (and label . ) Dark varnish preserved in just few places. Scroll here is more alike to the viola's one above - shape alike, final cut to the eye is quite narrow but deep. Back (chin?) slightly less pronounced. Mine has more bulbous arching - I don't know how well it shows in my pics. Rib height here is 30-31 mm.

Thank you very much, Jacob! I will definitely do that. Quite upright ff-s is a common feature that I remember, even not having mine at hand right now.

But of course! Thank you very much!

No pressure, but too exciting to let it go
