Catching up on the online seminars I missed. Great pannel and discussions. Can't wait to program Martin Schleske's method of cycloids subtraction into Excel. I wish I could share my method of plotting the longitudinal arch with the group. Check out the paper about it in the 2023 online edition of the VSA papers.
Just worked on a Curtain violin built 6 years ago. The top is collapsing under the tensions of the bridge and the f hole has collapsed 2 mil. Can't be corrected with a taller post. Good ideas , but definitely won't last 50 yrs, less 300. Your $50000 sounds like a $2000 dollar violin now. Not giving anything without recognition. But, we at least made it better with a taller post and probably made bridge. Check your older instruments out to see potential faults.
