An interesting video:
Wow. Amazing.
My comment would be that a visual inspection requiring no machinery establishes it as a Bull ravelement, and the massively expensive spectrum analysis tools really only help to pin down a date range for the ravelement, which to me, does not really matter much, although I admit is is of some medium interest.
The most striking thing is the preservation of much of the original Ruckers case inside the enlarged new case. I canāt figure out the reason for that.
Now I wonder what these folks with Raman Spectrometers can do with violin varnish!
Very interesting indeed. One small caution: the on-screen translations into English are not 100% accurate. For example, if Iām not mistaken I read āsoundboardā but heard āklankkastā {which means ācaseā}.
