Tracing it back
Surely I must have made more scroll templates in the past 20 years then the classical Cremonese makers combined in their 200 year history ... at least it feels like it and I have decided to change something!
Kevin Kelly scroll design method (no 0; 3/8) drawn by my assistant Ben De Wulf
The difference in the measurements amongst the Strad scrolls is small and random enough that, in my view they can be traced back to two templates. Following the Kevin Kelly design method, I have now created my own template, which is a neat geometrical drawing astonishingly similar to the strad scrolls I like most.
