Hi Francis,
I bow to your superior knowledge. I was told by someone that it was
"unreconstructed baroque" since it has the flatter angle on the neck, with
the cut away finger board to accomodate the belly curve. I understand that
many fiddles of that era were "improved" by having the neck angle changed.
Since I am a bit picky over correct definitions of vintage and veteran cars
and the like, i am quite willing to accept that baroque is not the correct
term for a fiddle of this age or construction. Any other info gratefully
received.
Has anyone else heard of a fiddle maker named Coulson from Stamfordham
However, what about the rest of my questions?

Sorry Tim, but it ain't baroque . .
Trouble is, if I tune down the baroque, which i prefer to play, I'll play
the pipes less
Well, if it ain't baroque, don't fix it!
