Cleaning up an old factory fiddle, a "Stainer" copy, and found this varnish-brush hair trapped down in a turn of the scroll.
It was fairly dirty in there, and I cleaned out a good layer of grime. For a while I thought the hair might be part of the gunk, but it was in the varnish, a left-over from the making process some hundred years ago.
The fiddle was a decent-sounding student instrument, and quickly went out the door as a rental.
