Televet Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Anything of interest here? https://www.bromptons.co/auction/8th-december-2015/images/page-1.html ...and since I am trying to educate myself rather than just look at pretty pictures, why is lot 409 possibly Italian rather than probably German? https://www.bromptons.co/auction/8th-december-2015/lots/409-an-interesting-violin-possibly-italian.html Thank-you for your comments in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
______ Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Belly grain indeed is 'Mittenwaldish' to me but scroll and whole head isn't typical view in this side of Tyrol. Body is asymetric at lower bouts. Upper bouts run down immediately from the joint. I don't know if it's Italian or German but I do believe it's from Tyrolean parts. Maybe this is just a Bromptons game to make violin 'Italian' whenewer there's such a possibility (higher estimates after all). There's a 'possibly' word at last.

Omobono Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Were I there I would like to try the Pallotta viola. It's only a "probable" but I would be curious... https://www.bromptons.co/auction/8th-december-2015/lots/247-an-italian-viola-probably-by-petro-pallotta-perugia-1788.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
