After much research I am puzzled an confused about Virzi "tone enhancers". This appurtenance was fitted to 1920s A-4s, F-4s, and F-5s correct? Did other manufacturers offer this product? Who was Mr. Virzi? Were these offered at an additional charge as an option to the purchaser? What is the effect on the tonal characteristics of the instrument? Are they attached to the mandolin braces? Instruments are described as "Virzi removed" WHY do this? Thanks to the Vintage Instruments community for the clarity!
