abstract:A Baroque violin is, in common usage, any violin whose neck, fingerboard, bridge, and tailpiece are of the type used during the baroque period. Such an instrument may be an original built during the baroque and never changed to modern form; a modern replica built as a baroque violin; truly rare anachronistic Baroque violins of the 19th centuryThe Baroque violin – more than catgut strings or an older instrument which has been converted (or re-converted) to baroque form.
