This is the inside of a "Hopf" violin circa 1880. It's an unusual instrument in that it's never had any repairs, if fact this is possibly the first time anyone has ever looked inside since it was built.

I photographed this using a Lumix S1R camera and a Laowa Probe lens, which I'd modified to fit into the extremely narrow "endpin" hole at the base of the instrument.

To give it a sense of space I stacked 78 images together, each focused a little further away from the last. This keeps the focus sharp throughout and creates the optical illusion that it's much bigger than reality.

Part of my Architecture in Music series.
