jackc Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Can anyone describe what changes have been made to the Messiah Strad? I assume that Vuillaume may have changed the neck and bassbar. Or does it retain the baroque form, since it was hardly ever played? I realize I could probably find this info out there on the web but I'm being lazy. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANFIO Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The neck is the original that received "sole" to make it longer. The bass bar is no longer the original too. I think Villaume did the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apartmentluthier Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I think the Hill firm had a go at the bass bar as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvin Goldsmith Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The original bass bar is exhibited with the violin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
