Found it!

Sorry to read about the bass viol. Can't you get a case for it?

Presumably the solid design of the viola family scroll is because too many viol scrolls got broken.

Well it *was* in a hard case.

In fact both the viol and the case were made in 1981 by my workshop partner (known here as Chaiwallah) and myself. The case did its job and protected the instrument as well as could have been expected. The scroll also did its job and took the hit for all the rest of the instrument.

I've just caught up on all your entries up to last Monday. I thought of loads of things to say whilst I was reading, but was so captivated I had forgotten them by the time I got to the end. smiley - senior

However, I will be on the lookout for Killian Farrell.
