Re: Lloyd Loar's personal mandolin
Nah, I am surprised that those violinists would mess with their Strads and Guarneri and put some new-fangled contraption inside them. Perhaps the Fratelli Virzi or Mr. Loar just met them one day after a concert and handed a fiddle with a Virzi thinger inside and asked their opinion (or handed them some cash).

Has anyone seen the PIANO Virzi mentioned in the advert!?!? That must be something!
Re: Lloyd Loar's personal mandolin
Yes. In the 70's I had friends who had a piano with a Virzi. It was an upright and had a long boomerang shaped Virzi attached to the back of the soundboard. It might have been a Schubert. I think there were only a couple brands that had Virzi's and only for a short time.Has anyone seen the PIANO Virzi mentioned in the advert!?!?
