Hello, I have a handmade violin from Turin, Italy, but the pegs box is broken. I asked a local luthier, and they said it can be repaired but there will be a crack, or they can replace the entire head and neck of the violin. They can buy the parts in China and replace them, but I'm not sure if the sound will change significantly. I'm thinking that if it needs to be replaced, it would be best to buy a head from Turin, Italy, and have it installed. Is this possible? I hope to get some opinions.

Hi there, I would like to thin down the neck of my main playing violin (Top to bottom, not side to side). I prefer a violin with a thin neck, as it plays much more comfortably for me, and it feels rather thick currently. I have put off doing this for a while, but am finally going to attempt it. I also have a "test" violin which I will practice it on first. At what thickness will it start to compromise the structure of the neck, causing it to possibly warp under string tension? What is the thinnest you could go before it starts to become a structural problem waiting to happen? Thank you.
