I inherited a violin from my Mother in Law about 25 yrs. ago. It has been in "stasis" since then.
The only history I have on it is that my MIL's father was stashing it for a friend who was a member in the Louisville Orchestra.
It has a repair label inside dated 1947 from L.L. Chaudoin, Louisville, KY.
The Tailpiece and String Adjuster are both stamped Germany, as if that is a useful clue?
I'll post some more pictures from different angles tonight.
Thanks
