Der Musikwinkel, i.e. Markneukirchen 50°18′39″N 12°19′45″E and the rest of the Saxonian part of Vogtland or the very western part of Saxony. Maybe as much as 80% of the world production of violins from late 19'th and early 20'th century, originates from this area! But unfortunately there are no dendrochronological references based on living trees (or historical timber) from the area available. It is maybe not even sure exactly where the source area or areas for the spruce wood they used were located, but a guess would be the Erzgebirge (highest peaks about 1200 m.a.s.l) in east or (less likely?) the Fichtelgebirge (up to ~1000 m) in southwest, but maybe also more distant source areas may have been utilized (Bayerischer wald?). More information on this issue is really needed! It is also highly desirable that measurements from instruments made in this region are published. In the list below are found measurements from instruments made in this region. Although they are merged into one collection, they are primarily not dated towards each other but towards mainly unpublished series of other instruments.[1]
