  1. feel free
  2. there are a few in my "not worth rehairing" box. there were scores of bow makers, and no names
  3. It is a budget violin from the Markneukirchen/Schönbach cottage industry from the end of the 19th C in a derelict condition, and would cost far more to repair than it would be worth afterwards. Bow ditto. Thus an appraisal would be a waste of money
  4. sorry, 19th C
  5. Looks like end of 9th C Markneukirchen to me
  6. The drubbing was here https://maestronet.com/forum/index.php?/topic/358933-internships-and-mini-jobs-for-aspiring-violin-makers-and-violin-making-students-cremona/ but has since been deleted
  7. No, you can find it here
  8. One dreads to think how Mr Gutierrez was tormented by his colleagues in the LA Phil for having stickers on the fingerboard to tell him where the different positions were located
  9. It’s a reasonably well preserved violin from the cottage industry of the Markneukirchen area, 1900ish. I wouldn’t be to bothered what any label said
  10. I presume the scroll is original, just some blacksmith stuck some agricultural style cheeks on it
  11. Slightly older Schönbach “Dutzendarbeit”. I would be inclined to rummage through my rubbish box, if I didn’t have a feasible scroll
  12. I think it is obvious what it is, there is no need to flog a dead horse
  13. Seems to be a violin from Markneukirchen
  14. I presume a Saxon (Markneukirchen) instrument with a replacement belly from the 19th C
  15. The purfling “mishaps” leave one wonder, if somebody hasn’t had difficulty fitting a replacement belly to the existing rib cage. I would expect a manuscript label of the period to be written in the Kurent alphabet
