Zdenek - Lavuta Posted October 21, 2022 Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm not at all sure where to put this violin - can you please identify it. Nice head (Scroll), the work inside the violin is very nice. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobsaunders Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I can't see anything inset. They seem to be equilateral triangle plan view blocks. Presumably after the introduction of outside moulds. It could just as well come from Szeged in Hungary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Dorsey Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 The rounded far end of the pegbox suggests that it was hollowed out by a router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Serafin made is more exactly called a Chapel/Chapelle, which can be seen at Vieux Paris and, less pronounced, sometimes at old Mittenwalds, too.

The chapelle is also nice and lets you thread the string through the peg while leaving more wood above the A peg. No matter what the shape used leaving the inside of the corners rounded rather than square increases strength substancialy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just another prove that this shape doesn’t indicate lazyness or minor quality, just often the opposite (and can look even nicer). 54 minutes ago, nathan slobodkin said: The chapelle is also nice and lets you thread the string through the peg while leaving more wood above the A peg.

It’s an interesting idea that this was done to strengthen the A peg hole, or that this is one effect of several. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
