Ed Shillitoe Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 It seems that Ms. Hahn knocked a piece off her violin - but a nice repair! https://twitter.com/violincase Ed
Rue Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Good grief...I can't even find the damage. Where exactly is it? Maybe I am looking at everything BUT the issue...
not telling Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Tiny, tiny fragment in the eye of the scroll was missing. I guess if you're Hilary Hahn, you don't abide that. Hilary Hahn's violin case mentioned this article she wrote for Slate about the impact her earliest teachers had on her. She's always been such a good writer. One more reason to love her: even as a teenager she was writing her own liner notes. Anyway, check this out if you have time. http://www.slate.com/articles/arts/culturebox/2015/07/violinist_hilary_hahn_on_her_two_greatest_teachers_and_on_the_mozart_and.html?wpsrc=fol_tw#comments
not telling Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I couldn't copy/paste that link and it's wrong. But it's the top post in the twitter feed Ed posted if you want to look at the article.
Rue Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I found a whole set of extra photos when I looked using my phone vs my computer... But I still can't find/see the tiny tiny oopsie. I think I would have let it be vs doing what amounts to a relatively big repair. ..might have been less "invasive" that way (?).
Christopher Jacoby Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and you can see the big old honking square of wood glued on, and then worked away to almost nothin.
David Burgess Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 If you click on the photos, they enlarge, and you can see the big old honking square of wood glued on, and then worked away to almost nothin. Right. Basically, the end of the ear got knocked off on the treble side. Would like to know who did the repair. Looks like good work, but it's hard to know on a Guarneri model.
Carl Stross Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Right. Basically, the end of the ear got knocked off on the treble side. Would like to know who did the repair. Looks like good work, but it's hard to know on a Guarneri model. It's impressive. It avoided the gathering of even a minute amount of character.
Michael Richwine Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Right. Basically, the end of the ear got knocked off on the treble side. Would like to know who did the repair. Looks like good work, but it's hard to know on a Guarneri model. Stefan Bauni. From the patina on the break, it looks like it had been cracked a long time, or that was an old repair that finally came apart.
David Burgess Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 From the patina on the break, it looks like it had been cracked a long time, or that was an old repair that finally came apart. Agreed, from what I can see from the photos.
Jeff White Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I'd think she'd be a little more concerned about dealing with that A peg crack. jeff
David Burgess Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 I'd think she'd be a little more concerned about dealing with that A peg crack. jeff Can't tell if it's a crack or not. Might be antiquing, or a scratch. The orientation is a little unusual for a crack at that location, and a skilled repair could have rendered a crack much less visible than that.
Jeff White Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 David, your right, I didn't take the time to realize the odd orientation. Guess that makes that some bad antiquing
Ganymede Piggot Posted April 9, 2016 Report Posted April 9, 2016 Would like to know who did the repair. Looks like good work Stefan "All will be well" Bauni.
