Of course these only are the most recent uploads to the YorkMasterPublicPhotos complex of open, free, and non-posting Yahoo groups.
If you want to want the most recent index (in Word format with active hyperlinks) of the thousands of illustrations of hundreds of instruments, you can find it here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/YorkMasterPublicPhotosIII/files/
Please remember, that the structure of Yahoo Groups will not let you join any group through links for thumbnails. You will have to join the appropriate group through one of the links given at the top of the index.
It has been an aim to give photo documentation of older instrument makers, many of them small independent European masters. But also small US workshops have been taken into consideration as much as possible. The YMPP groups do not offer illustrations, which can be found on commercial web sites.
Enjoy!

PS: The illustration shows an Amati oval Bariton. Today we only find instruments like this one with the Cerveny engraving..
