> Hi, if i were the lil angel in this picture(http://www.thecipher.com/viol_TimoteoViti_c1500Madonna-italy.jpg), the dark stripe that you see parallel to the bridge wouldn't be a second bridge but a stripe/piece of cloth intertwined in the strings portions after the bridge to prevent them from buzzing and reverberating in a prasite way the vibrations of the music. > Probably this is the same reason that this lady has decorated her viola: http://www.mdw.ac.at/I105/orpheon/Bild-VdgG/Vdg_musscher.jpg > Some other pics of violas: http://www.mdw.ac.at/I105/orpheon/Seiten/education/Violin_Vdg_Families.htm > ------------------------------------------ > > Faites un voeu et puis Voila ! www.voila.fr > Hi Rosinfiorini; I appreciate the thought, but don't think that it's fabrique woven among the strings. It's definately completely under all strings. It could possibly be a rolled up wad of something stuffed under, but it seems to have a lot of straight-line geometry to it. The magified jpeg blow-up _is_ introducing some straight-line atrifacts (horizontal and vertical) in the blow up, but even the original detail pic looks very geometrical to me.
