An attack? Lol, I did not have an issue with the facts he posted, my issue is that he tried to spin what I said to make it look like I was condoning nefarious violin transactions, when I was merely telling an anonymous new member they should back up what they say with facts.... I thought you liked facts Jacob

Wow, you sure tried to spin that around by putting words in my mouth!! Your account is new and so is the other that you came to the rescue of....sorry but I do not have time to take your bait

Lol, really? You are going to talk crap about someone “me and some of my friends heard something” you just opened an anonymous account and talking smack about a dealer.... if you are going to talk crap about someone at least be man enough to post your real name....jeeezzzzz

Please note that there are a couple of spellings of his last name which seemed to have been used by the maker.

Looks like you’re on your own Glenn!

That is about the same time that all of my links to the various discussions disappeared from the homepage....

I think Brad covered most of it except the varnish. Most MA’s have a softer and less gloss in the varnish. To me this looks like a mid grade, and may pass for a standard “Juzek”. From what I’ve seen, the nicer master art instruments are very comparable to the nicer Roth’s....they also look like the Karl Hermann Morelli fiddles (mine has a Made in Czechoslovakia brand)

I have had a few Juzek Master Arts...and this one is not the same quality.

You can see them on the interior....they’re real!

I used to cut gems and have glasses similar to these: https://www.amazon.com/Qooltek-Headband-Magnifying-Interchangeable-0-2-10-2/dp/B078JPRH2Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=jewelers+glasses&qid=1560641598&s=gateway&sr=8-3

You cursed your violin by removing it!

Hendrik, I think you’ll find it was meant as humor.

This is as labeled, but as BF mentioned they use a mix of Mirecourt and others....and relabel and doctor/upgrade others. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163720144728

Do you have a JACOB SAUNDERS label kicking around?
