Additional Information
Peter Ratcliff 


Purpose of Collection:  Archaeology, dating of musical instruments

Violin is owned by Mrs. A. Hadinghue, Brighton, UK. 

Notes:
Instrument is from the town of Mittenwald in Southern Germany, 
and the wood most likely local, central southern German border 
with Austria.  Wood is PCAB and the table is in one piece 
(as opposed to 2, hence the relatively long series.)

Violin School of Neuner.  Mittenwald circa 1840 violin. 309 rings.
Strong match with Schweingruber's Simmenthal at t=10, and t=7.42 
with V.Siebenlist-Kerner's Obergurgl chr. as  well as hundreds 
of violins, best one in my database t=13.4(p589) 

Data file corrected 10/15/2010, due to a mis-dating of the entire
series by one year. Corrected data file covers 1490-1803 AD.  
File originally archived 5/22/2009 was incorrectly assigned 
date range of 1491-1804 AD due to an error in format conversion.
