Hi,
anyone with an opinion on this stamp on a viola bow? Gand & Bernardel? Any information?

Prague violins

23 October 2012 - 04:17 AM

Since Jacob speaking of some details about Prague fiddles in the Strnad thread, I would like to ask what´s about this fiddle.  
I got different opinions about it (of course also several "tyrolians") but am I in a completely wrong department if I guess it´s an old Prague one? Lining made from spruce, seems let in the corner blocks. Blocks more orientaded to the upper and lower bouts. No hole in the pegbox back but still the hole in the upper block from the guy who "whacked the big nail into the neck". Body on the large side (bl 359 mm). No label or inscription. Any opinion appreciated. Thanks!
