Especially your red-brown varnish that has so much depth and luster. Weird question, though. What is the make of that bridge blank in the picture with the holder? I really dig the cut of the blank.

Thank you Nick! it’s a very old Aubert, before the use of the machines, cut by hand, around 100 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christian bayon Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Good start of the year! Nice meeting on my bench, violas by Giacomo Genaro and a new one : the old classy lady teaching the new kid in the block ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Nice side:side! Both look great! Are you repairing the "old" one? It looks in good shape. BTW...why does the older one have 3 pins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three13 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 That’s a lovely pair of violas. Didn’t Gennaro end up a watchman/guard somewhere in Cremona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken_N Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Christian, I'm not usually a fan of straight on photos; I like revelations from 3d shots. But yours are always very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bress Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I like how personalized Pietro Guarneri of Mantua violins are while retaining the character of N. Amati. And of course, your violin looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
