Arching notes, Del Gesù-Tecchler

The part of wood carving I find most challenging is the carving of the C bouts. The violin in the pictures is a very well sounding Guarneri, the Ex Baron Vitta, Goldberg. The C bout arching is quite full when compared to other instruments by the same author, or even Strads. On the opposite extreme is the arching of a Tecchler, in this case a cello.
