This type of accident happens often. Reversing over your instrument. This SUV driver was lucky that the back of the violin was not damaged. Most of the pressure came on the lower treble side corner block disintegrating the lower treble side rib, several cracks in the belly one being a Soundpost crack requiring a Soundpost patch and one new rib - new lining. Above you can see the new rib fitted and stained this will oxidise changing in colour to look like old wood before varnishing . Above job done. Lives to sing another day.
