The eye behind Architecture In Music
@maslowsneeds @dermb @classicalmusic the Luthier herself could tell you better, but there is some deformation to the shape of the belly that needs to be addressed. Some of these cleats are good but many need redoing. Lots of scratches and varnish issues on the outside. Soundpost replacements, new bridge. There's a good few months of work do be done here!

Inside a 250-year-old French Violin by Augustin Chappuy.

This violin was just brought to New Zealand and is about to be restored - so I thought I'd do this 'before' photo, and you can all check back in in about a year's time once it's been through the hands of Le Violon Rouge luthiers!

Photographed with a Medical Endoscope and a Lumix G9ii

A photograph of the inside of a splendid Geminhardt Elkhardt Alto Flute.
This shot is the result of combining 960 individual images. This offers an unparalleled insight into the instrument, revealing the intricate details of its craftsmanship, the delicate fibers of the pads, and the traces left by years of meticulous cleaning.

Architecture In Music

Inside the Action of a Fazioli Grand Piano. I'm always in awe of just how precise the work is in these tiny spaces; this opening is less than 2cm in diameter.
A typical Fazioli is made from more than 11'000 individual parts.
