gtd Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Hi all, Just looking at another violin I have wondering what it is and what it's all about. Some extensive repairs- seems like the entire right lower bout of the table has been replaced No purfling on the back, but there is an almost invisible, thin purfling right along the edge of the top. Little repair note on the top seems to indicate it's pretty old Bass bar isn't integral although I suppose could have been added later. Corner blocks don't seem to special but are present. What do you think? English? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtd Posted September 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 Oh, and the lower right bout (replaced wood) has worm damage while the rest of the violin doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobsaunders Posted September 1, 2021 Report Share Posted September 1, 2021 should you wish anyone to make any useful comment, you should provide photos that are in focus, that looks like you've fished it out of the compost heap in the fog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guido Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 Looks like the neck was screwed on from the outside diagonally down from the finger board gluing surface, and the screw would have been hidden when the fingerboard was glued on. This feature was discussed on this forum before and associated with some English makers if I remember correctly. Can't recall further particulars, maybe someone else can.
