Maybe someone know and recognise what it is? Cornerblocks are symetrical (not like Mittenwald,)

Lady are 120% sure her violin is original by Berhardus Seitz, because seller/luthier gave her his certificate. I am suspicious... There are no more photos available, on;y certificate. Any opinions?

We all know - violin prices in USA are much higher than in Europe, it is a fact. I sold some violins to dealers with USA adresses and it is ok to see their prices afterwards beeing 2-2,5 times bigger than mine. But there was one guy who made best score : he bought my Mirecourt 19th cent. French violin (forgot which maker it was, quite mediocre one) with Rampals certificate, ready to play for 3000, on his Website I found it for 16500, same setup, same strings, even my demo video was used without permission. I hope "Brescian" violin does not belong to same guy...

thanks

we are on same page, but I asked for a photos and get some.

Run away from it!

Well, it will be nice to have some pics with different bow holding versions (Russians, Beigian, any other?) Can somebody make ?

Totally agree except 6.

Laberte. Label and description from his Cataloque 1912

I can suggest to travel to Europe. Prices are much more friendly there.

Do not buy for such price, it is way too much for unknown trade violin, probably chinese or Bubbenreuth production. For 2000 you can get some French instruments and then you'll be sure price will raise during months and years.

Yes , she does play that instrument, very nice violins.

Jules Camille Boulangeout one of "budget line" makers. Good French instruments still for decent price, except last approx. 10 years, when quality slightly declined.
