Jacob Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 If I saw that anywhere else other than on a violin I would have been impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bean_fidhleir Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I get the feeling that Gliga is trying to reprise the late-19th-early-20th-century "gimmick" instruments. Which, if I were in the market for a modern instrument, would put me completely off his work. Why would anyone need to resort to gimmicks if their work was any good?

PicknBow Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The violin market is so competitive that maybe offering something extra will work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathyk Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 This is an etnry-level vionlin from Gliga/violinslover, do you think it's the same technique? If so, then in this case it's also being used to simulate sort of a flaming where there isn't any, as opposed to a picture over top of the wood grain as it seems in the first image.

CamQTR Posted December 23, 2005 Report Share Posted December 23, 2005 It's almost kind of creepy. It reminds me of the image of Jesus in the cheese sandwich. How soon before they offer a violin with the face of Our Lord Jesus, or Mary, with eyes that shed tears when you play it? Sorry, I have an errant, wandering mind. But I do like the second one better, the one from kathyk's post, at least it seems creative in a sentimental/romantic way. Cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron1 Posted December 24, 2005 Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 An early (1900) example of a similar, but simpler form of pyro-gravure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
