This recent research will be of interest to everyone who sharpens stuff.
Interesting, thanks for sharing!

Unfortunately, most threads descend into this, once the information is out of the way. I hope you can enjoy your cello, it looks like many other people have done so before you.
Thanks, very kind reply!

Oh, and the sound is always (mature, rich and mellow). If you discount the rattles and buzzes.

Not digging the repair label(s). It looks like a Markie in my shop that gets moved around every couple years because what it's going to cost to bring it back is not worth it. Nevertheless folks bring one or two a year and then get angry that they're not going to make a profit on it if they get the work done.

Current prices on these vary a lot, but tend toward inflated. From comments on violin forums, they seem to enjoy a better reputation than plain "rubbish", much like those labelled "Roth" or "Juzek", but to a lesser extent (so far).
You know what I'm gonna say...but is the Juzek algorithm detector on the fritz again?

Given that the best diamond, obviously, would be supercompressed carbon molecules obtainable from the vicinity of a white dwarf star, and therefore stardust itself, as well as that the closest natural source is in the α Canis Majoris system at a distance of 8.6 light years, one notes that we are back once more to the subject of really massive funding of the basic research necessary............ [Waves her tip jar (in this context, one dares not use "can") towards the audience hopefully.]
It was good enough for Juzek.

Dont think he made a couple of thousands....
... but still an impressive number.
The level of extraordinary competence is nowadays measured in USD.

Well stated!

Dang, there are so many brilliant people here. Bill, my current contract gives my promoter/publicist 50%, and Sawzall another 20%, but I at least I do get free potential new accessories to their attachment product line to test and evaluate.
Return to you lives citizens! Nothing unusual to see here.

Where all the best MN threads go, spinning off into the dark web!

They're trying to promote it as vice-versa, but their approach smells a little..................insincere?
Hey when your gluteal muscles are worn out. What to do, What to do?

Well responsible societies cannot simply have these folks run in the streets.

Why yes of course, it's all so very much clearer now! I see the beauty and truth of all wisdom expressed on MN...and it doesn't matter what the others in group counseling say, MN is not a cult at all!

An interesting prospect, to be sure. But I think you'll have better luck with a mental healthcare professional rather then the neurosis-riddled masses of Maestronet.
But...it's my comfort zone.

Good Thread! There certainly is lots of psychology involved. I would still like to psychonalyze my attraction to battered Baroque instruments, worm holes and all.

Ha Ha, that's good! Such Rare, Much Plague! I think it may stick even though it is gravely sacrilegious. Then there is the risk of invoking the angry ghost of the Old Man himself, John Juzek Senior. Legend has it that his angry ghost will appear naked at the foot of your bed holding a chisel and a gouge!

I know there’s been quite a few threads about Juzek Master Art violins, however, is anyone familiar with a label not being marked without the number, model or year?
The Master's personal stamp? You know like the Grail, but for rare violins.

Now that it is on MN, the technical term "Juzekesque" must be entered into the canonical lexicon, (in hushed and respectful tones of course). Let's show a little decorum here.

Such Rare, Much Prague! Ah yes, the Americans, they get very excited!

He just discovered the Juzek label.

If Barry had some records that would be great. I know there are folks interested in the history if anything is known or can be learned. The only restoration possible is to keep it playable. I have one very similar and it is an orphan, most likely cut down Baroque. It has almost sixty cleats, a patina cello if you will. It is also in Ohio.
Maples from other origins?
