It looks German (19th Century) to me… Any other ideas? https://www.ebay.de/itm/326716008000?_skw=cello&itmmeta=01K1TMAZ0TE8GDQ0DPH54VN95C&hash=item4c11caa640:g:vm0AAeSwDKBoj1i6&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4FkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1c8L3FGj7MPRG8PqwbtLU7nIGJro84YF5wHKHtJkl0ddnziP43fKwrlloTSOxcKdl17%2Fi%2ByQwnqhRl2M7lV6eakp%2BwHaXH%2BdBf3ba%2BTmS5p3Tmix3WjtB8cH7PcuOH6V5EyQsNE4A5Q2VRutqIg69PBnafTkFBgjn3%2FfSpz1lAhtW2EFZx3fhP8joemRUsofTRP3JedwyN6%2FU1XTSJQDE1vYR9FiD56MJxxpTFaBaZtEdV6wKPr1q7T0kwSNqjgFsLK%2BoWv3b%2B9jfXYzj1iAGha|tkp%3ABk9SR-Twq9SOZg

These are Chinese copies. Remember the old saying: „If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t.“ -

They are now a branch of Thomastik, and produce the new Evoke Strings in Vienna. The rest of the line is still manufactured in Denmark.

I’ve only heard great things about the Jargar Superior set from my violin colleagues.

Unfortunately, these are the only photos that I have.

Not true. There are some obvious objective ways to analyze some of the qualities of an instrument. Five different professionals could agree in a blind test if an instrument is responsive (easier to play) or unresponsive, regardless of their style of playing. That can be measured. Another one might be balance, e.g. how smooth the transition is from one string to another, or even character of sound (dark sound, brilliant sound).

You’re not being boring at all. I had similar thoughts. Thanks!
