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

Work in progress for my Architecture In Music series.

@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!

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.

Signing prints that are headed for permanent collections in the South-East of France. These 19 photos are now the inalienable property of the French Public!
