Hello Guys, Thanks all of you for your interesting comments. Jacob's comments are really helpful and informative. I really appreciate it! Here are some pictures. http://imageshack.us/g/13/img6276y.jpg/ Structurally the violin must be restored. However, the tone of the violin is really good. Thanks again Nikolas

Hi Thanks for your comment. Probably this is the maker FRANZ LEHNER. Do you have any information? Thanks Nikolas

Hello Guys, I am writing regarding a violin that I have with a label 'Franz Tehner Geigenmacher in Prag 1852'. Does anyone know any information regarding this maker? I could not find anything about this violin! Thanks Nikolas

Hello guys, Dear jacobsaunders, Thanks for your comments. Could you kindly tell us what really makes you to believe that this violins are Schönbach? What characteristics do Schönbach violins have comparing to these three violins? If you could provide some more information just for pure educational purposes I would be really grateful! Thanks

Hello guys, Thanks all of you for your various comments. Dear Wolfjk, Thank you for your comment on the labels. If you can look on the michelberger's label picture, I think the label is written on Hungarian alphabet. On the other hand, the word "mühegedü" I am not really sure what it means. Anyone who speaks hungarian would be a great help ! Anyway thanks again

Hello! I have three violins which I have bought from Budapest 10 years ago. The first one is labelled : 'Thomas Hulinzky fecit Praga Anno 1770' The second one is labelled: 'Richard Gareis Music-Instruments Bleistadt' The third one is labelled: 'Michelberger Janos muhegedu keszito mester Kituneive szakszeru es jo munkaert szkfv disz-oklevellel, szamos nagy arany es ezust eremmel. BUDAPEST, VI., UTEG-UCTA 5, SZAM' I understand that the labels inside the violins could not be original. Therefore, I am asking your help in order to identify whether these violins are original or factory made copies? I would be grateful if you could provide an estimation of their age, origin and any other information and details you can find! Here are some links for my violins' photos http://imageshack.us/g/717/gareisfront.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/g/84/hulinzkyscroll.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/g/339/michelbergerscroll.jpg/ Thank you in advance, Nikolas
