VIOLIN  MAKER  IDENTIFICATION

The rare combination of the VID Computer proportional analysis results AND Glen Wright's commendable 40+ years of valuable violin identification experience, provides an opinion based upon human expertise and computer science, not found anywhere!  Over 115 classical violin makers and their 254 violins to compare with your mystery violin!




Mr. GLEN WRIGHT

Because of his passion for the violin, Glen Wright has spent the better part of the past 40 years diligently studying his massive library of authoritative violin reference materials. Glen's son, Robert, developed and tested the VID Computer program in 1997.

"I am amazed with the VID Computer Program. I have found the probable violin maker or student of the same, invariably listed in the top 5 most proportionally similar violins after visually identifying similar wood, varnish, purfling, and scroll characteristics. If there are not enough similarities in workmanship, I conclude the maker of the unknown violin may not be listed in the known violinmaker database and refer to photographs in my library for visual comparison.  In this case, VID computer program results can provide clues on the model type of the unknown violin as well as its possible geographical origin.  
Incredibly, I have seen the VID computer program routinely identify authentic violins in the known violinmaker database when the same authentic violin photographs were used as the unknown violin for comparison. "

MOST EXPENSIVE VIOLIN?   -   MESSIAH STRADIVARI

The authenticity of the Messiah Stradivari has been a  mystery since 1855 when it first came into possession of J.B. Vuillaume, a French violin maker.
  
World renown violin experts have differing opinions as to the violin's maker.
 
The VID Computer Program  had no problem unveiling the most probable maker of this famous violin by identifying a violin that has nearly identical proportions from among 110 classical violin makers. The year of this violin is key to making certain conclusions about the computer's findings. The results are startling and will certainly raise the eyebrows of some experts!
