I happened to watch a YouTube with John Reischman discussing his Loar - I'm sure this has been watched by many. I noticed something odd at about the 2:16 mark: a close-up of the bridge shows the bottom two pairs of strings (G and D) as different guages, ie. as if they are an octave apart (like a 12 string guitar). Other views do not show this, so I assume somebody editted in the wrong image.
It raises a question though - does anyone actually do this with their strings?
