This fine French instrument still has its original neck, but sadly it doesn’t conform to the measurements of todays standards. Its neck length is too short and its height out over the top of the violin is much too low. There is little else one can do but graft the scroll onto a new new block. Done carefully it is barely noticeable. The first step is to remove the neck from the corpus of the violin. You CAREFULLY saw just to the neck side of the button. I will update this process as the work progresses
