I had a viola made by a really famous luthier. It had a pretty wild "wolf" on open A. I loved the instrument and tried everything I could think of. It turns out it was fingerboard resonance the free end of the fingerboard would vibrate and make a difference frequency, it would rattle your teeth!. All I needed to do was ad about a 3 gram weight under the free end of the fingerboard. Like magic the wolf was gone!
Try a Flesch model chinrest. They mount in the center right over the tailpiece. They have a model with a hump and without a hump. I often use the one with the hump but I carve the hump off. If you watch yourself play you hold your instrument pretty much in the middle and not really on the cup part.
Sound beautiful, thank you for sharing

Beautiful fiddle. Thanks so much for sharing!
That’s a very sad story, this violin had a hard time being born. I’m glad it has a happy ending.
