Bluebonnetman Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Perhaps you can help. Recently I acquired a violin needing top repair. It has three (3) bass bars carved integral with the top with a range of size. Have you seen this before, and would you know what maker would have crafted such. I judge the age between 1910-1930. Any help you can render is greatly appreciatedTheodore Henning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad H Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 That is pretty wild. It is difficult to be sure, but the big "Papa" bar looks to be glued in based on perceived grain differences with the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
