Photo of broken/damaged/old violin?

[Imbler]

Kind of an odd request, but my wife is a poet, and would like a picture of a damaged violin to use as an illustration.

I know a few of you repair violins, and wondered if you had a photo you wouldn't mind her using?

Thanks for any help,
Mike

I have some broken cello photos, would they help?

thanks Steve, quite possibly they could serve. If it isn't too much trouble could you email me a couple of them and I'll see if one meets her vision?
thanks, Mike

They were nice photos

As mentioned, mine are more cellos, not many people spend money getting serious repairs on violins in my locality, lots of bridge and peg work but not repairs

Thanks Steve, I'll give these to her as well. Without any scale, these look like a violin to the layman.

I did Jon, but since she publishes (albeit on a small scale), I need to make sure I have permission, and most of what google gives me are not obviously in the public domain. I don't want to inadvertently steal someone's intellectual property.

Freds 2nd photo is quite tasteful, and would not look out of place in any book, just my opinion.

Publish? Nobody told me about it being published! I would have dusted. That was just a quick shot, I am still not happy about this one but I can live with it. Larger file so you can play with it if you want.
