The image displays a collection of templates for the top blocks (scrolls/pegs) of various string instruments. These are used by luthiers (instrument makers) to shape the wood correctly for each specific instrument size.
Here is the list of instruments shown, organized by family and size from smallest to largest:
Violin Family:
1.
1/4 - 1/2 Violin: For very small violins (often for young children).
2.
3/4 Violin: A smaller-than-full-size violin.
3.
7/8 Violin: A slightly smaller violin, sometimes called a "lady's violin."
4.
Violin: The standard full-size (4/4) violin.
Viola Family:
5.
Small Viola: A viola with a smaller body length.
6.
Large Viola: A viola with a larger body length.
Cello Family:
7.
3/4 Cello: A smaller cello, often used by younger students or adults with smaller frames.
8.
Cello: The standard full-size cello.
Double Bass & Viol:
9.
Double Bass: The largest instrument in the modern string family.
10.
Viol: Refers to the Viola da Gamba family, which has different proportions than modern orchestral strings.
Key Observation:
At the top of the page, there is a measurement line indicating
91 mm. This suggests that these templates might be scaled or that 91 mm is a reference width for one of the standard sizes (likely the full-size violin or a specific part width), helping the maker keep proportions consistent across different instrument sizes.
These shapes ensure that the scroll (the decorative carved head) and the pegbox (where the tuning pegs go) are cut accurately for each instrument’s unique dimensions.
Final Answer:
The image shows scroll/pegblock templates for 10 different string instrument sizes: 1/4–1/2 Violin, 3/4 Violin, 7/8 Violin, Full Violin, Small Viola, Large Viola, 3/4 Cello, Full Cello, Double Bass, and Viol. A reference width of 91 mm is indicated at the top.
