In his essay Bidrag till kännedomen om viola d'amore Daniel Fryklund writes in a note: A trustworthy source has told me that there is supposed to be a clock maker in a remote village in Ångermanland who also is specialized in improving common violins by adding understrings.
This reference is rather vague and I don't know of any of the clock makers instruments that are preserved. It is not known what type of fiddles he converted the violins to. I suppose that this clock maker is of about the same age as Fryklund (1979-1965) since the reference is written in present tense. If you read the reference you get the impression that the clock maker converted quite a few instruments but unfortunately they are not known today.
