I think of Guntar and Heimlich as “the twins.” I was (and am) still learning the art of varnishing and initially thought the twins would look quite different, but they turned out nearly identical. One way of adding color to a violin is by using colored varnish and adding as many layers as needed to get the desired color depth. A downside of this method is that too much varnish can muzzle the tone of the violin, so one might need to stop adding layers before reaching the hoped-for color.
