Maybe bridge cutting is also a fetish for some! There might be some interesting videos out there on the dark web.......

Its looks interesting, I'll try and pick up a copy sometime.

Here is another one for sale at auction https://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/southgate-auctions/catalogue-id-southg10043/lot-65bb26c0-573a-4a72-a97e-ac560142dc9b

I don't recall ever seeing or ticking a box, but it's possible it is somewhere in the settings and I didn't notice. I will have a look at the situation next time I look to buy something from them. Either way I am not overly concerned.

This statement interests me because I bought something from Bromptons at the last auction and this came up for that item too. Do they mean the seller rather than the person that bought it? (because I didn't request that) or do they just do that automatically anyway.

Well I just post all the links in the one auction thread and leave it at that unless I see something especially curious to talk about. I'm keeping an eye on Tarisio, bromptons and amati as standard plus a whole bunch of others. I don't really have the money to talk about anything interesting at the moment .

New eeeeeeebony everything from our workshop...

They do great guitar parts

I just start from the beginning, mainly because I want to see if there is anything that I can afford

Yeah I could see that after I looked at the pictures again, I think I'm always very cautious about neck grafts so I think I just need to study more of them.

Hard to tell from the image, but looks like it might have a fake neck graft.

The reveal is that it's not a violin at all, it is in fact a very cleverly disguised waffle maker! The things that engineers can do these days, it really blows my mind.

I have a couple of more expensive Chinese instruments and they are not too bad.
