The Anatomy of a Violin

My favorite violinist (my father) had two violins until I absconded with one of them. I took it to The String Doctor, Steve Fredrickson, for some repairs. Steve is not only an excellent musician and repairman, but a very accomodating fellow. He agreed to take some photographs of my father's violin which it was disassembled in the midst of the repairs. Here they are.
