3D virtual slicing of an antique violin reveals ancient varnishing methods

Italian violin-making masters of the distant past developed varnishing techniques that lent their instruments both an excellent musical tone and impressive appearance. Scientists have now developed a non-invasive 3D-scanning approach to gain insights into the main morphological features of the overlapping finishing layers used on violins. This could help scientists rediscover the procedures employed by ancient violin masters.
