This sounds very interesting ....
what bridge was there originally ?
I have not seen the acctual case. But usually the "restorer" mirrores
the drone bridge instead of making a normal mouche and trompette bridge.
I guess the trompette bridge in such cases was missing, or this
"restorers" thought that the slot is a notch.
Such "restoring" can only take place if the "restorer" does not know
and care a f.rt about the instrument he his working on. I hope this
does not happen anymore today.
S.
somebody can give me pic of that?

Yes, he was a well known maker.
it's curious that it seems like if the
original
mouche+trompette bridge has been changed for another
drone bridge, keeping
however the dog tuning head.
It's a modern "restoration" made by a
not-so-well-informed-guy :-) I've seen this in several
HGs in several museum.
