Violin ID

[wooden]

Hello. I have this violin for ID. I think it is an usual Saxon violin as it has some features as the building method (the ribs corner joints, the smaller corner blocks..) but on the other side the model, the purfling, the head, seem to be a little different of what I'm used to see in this kind of violins. The arching is very low almost flat and the grain is really close. Could you please provide any info about this violin? Are anyone of you familiar with these features? Thank you very much in advance.

It all fits with the Schoenbach look and crtiteria to me

My late professor had the very similar violin, talking about two details: the bee stings and the pigment in the pegbox. His violin has been made somewhere in Czechoslovakia's area, in the middle of 1800's

I had one very similar, same bee stings, same scroll and pigment, 100% confirmed Czech, late 1800 to early 1900. Only difference is in the f holes, they don't widen in the center as much as in this violin.

My bet goes to Czech too
