I am following this discussion and trying to learn. Just wanted to point out that the STRAD 3D material has longitudinal CT scans of the three violins for comparison in the "image - 3violinsCT-compare" folder. These scans appear to be a bit off-center (the end pins are not visible). The top scan (not sure which violin it is) appears to show a bit of sinking at the bridge and maybe (?) some bulging?

difference between LN 101, 102, 103 block planes?
Geigenbauer replied to JesseBrano's topic in The Pegbox
102 and 103 next to each other for comparison. -
Just my two cents: I use lab glass beakers for cooking varnish and cover them with aluminum wrap if I want a lid. I would personally not use an Erlenmeyer flask because I think it would make it difficult to deal with foaming/frothing. It would be difficult to stir the varnish in the flask and the taper toward the top would make the froth rise very fast (I think).

The question rang a bell... When you look on the website of "The Strad" you can find an article termed "7 tips for perfecting purfling". Jan Spidlen describes how he creates "scarf joints" in the C-bout purfling.

Rue, I found your picture here: https://www.akg-images.com/archive/-2UMDHU8IX0AD.html The description says "Christian Ferras playing on his Stradivari “Le Président” from 1721". I could not find the instrument on Tarisio though. Not sure if it also known under a different name.

Although I am apparently lacking common sense then, I will say that I have tried both: carving plates by hand as well as designing plates in a CAD software and cutting them on a CNC. IMHO both ways are not easy...;-)

I will add my two cents: I believe great looking and great sounding violins can be made with quite different approaches (or anything in-between): - They can be made by makers that use all hand tools as well as by those that use the latest power tools/technology (including CNCs). - They can be made by those that cook their own varnish and make their own pigments as well as by those that buy commercial varnish and pigments. - They can be made by those that read and embrace the latest science as well as those that rely solely on experience and intuition. In the end, I t

Looks like one to me. It is probably a high-end model with a near perfect energy to heat production response relationship. $2K plus. * just being jealous because I don't have a nice microphone...;-)

I came across this old thread while looking for information about one of my own bows. I bought it new >15 years ago and never had any work done on it. I am including some pictures. I hope this will be helpful for anyone else looking for information about these bows.
