Hello everyone,
I respectfully submit to you the pictures of a violin I bought some time ago from my late teacher and had professionally restored.
It has blocks but the linings stop at the blocks and are not let into them.
There is a step under the FB where the neck joins the peg box at the graft.
Marcel Richters says it's a very well made French violin circa 1760,with top quality varnish (what's left of it). but beyond that he could not point to a maker or school.
Your informed opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
