    Bob, Very nice work as always. Have you ever made an Octave violin.

    As a luthier myself I find your fiddle very interesting. A always like to see the thinking going out of the box and the limits being stretched a tad.

    Try a Flesch model chinrest. They mount in the center right over the tailpiece. They have a model with a hump and without a hump. I often use the one with the hump but I carve the hump off. If you watch yourself play you hold your instrument pretty much in the middle and not really on the cup part.

    I had a viola made by a really famous luthier. It had a pretty wild "wolf" on open A. I loved the instrument and tried everything I could think of. It turns out it was fingerboard resonance the free end of the fingerboard would vibrate and make a difference frequency, it would rattle your teeth!. All I needed to do was ad about a 3 gram weight under the free end of the fingerboard. Like magic the wolf was gone!

    @@TheHappynot I think the best option is not to replace the fingerboard, but to have what they call a 'New York Neck Set' done. It is much less invasive and not as expensive. It will increase the fingerboard projection so it can have a taller bridge but with low action, and it will greatly increase the volume.
