Progress on the Guarneri violin and the De Salo viola.
The 2nd Guarneri violin off this particular mould has its neck set - the viola back is being roughed out on the outer
arch. The plate is fixed with two small glued block which fit in two holes in the board. This particualr back is deeply figured
and very hard maple - hard work ! Makes you look forward to working on the spruce top.
