Hello all, Ive recently received a violin by one of my family members. Ive looked up the manufacturer and it says that hes a master luthier and his work can go for €2,000-€9,000 Euros if he made the violin, but it also says that he sold some stock which isnt made by him so can be sold for a little less. Currently, its in unplayable condition. I have no strings, and some fine tuners are missing. I have a bow, but it seems to just be a bow with no brand. The violin has some chipped paint and scratches, but in general its in good condition. The soundpost isnt fallen down. If someone could tell me that it is made by him and what price estimate it could go for, ill try to take it to a place to get appraised. I live in a area with not alot of luthiers, appraisers or music shops, so its a bit hard to do that but id love to get it appraised if its a valuable piece. I'll send a Google drive link with the photos so it can be viewed in good quality. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1W0vGCGQ0KCZCZ3NBlq9aiRUInprRr4NR Thank you for your help!

Hi everyone, I have a violin made by Georg Krywalski, probably around 1910. It hasn’t been played in about 5 years but is in good, playable condition. I’m looking for more information about the maker and a rough estimate of the instrument’s value. Any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated! Photos are attached below.

I bought it recently at a local private dealer for $10000 usd. But it doesn’t have a certificate and its maker is unknown as shown in the signature inside the violin. The dealer only says it is Italian and I thought it sounds unique so I still went ahead and bought it. Can someone help me identify this violin? Thanks.

I have a 4/4 violin with a label that reads, "Joh.Bapt.Schweitzer fecit ad forman Antonii Stradiuarii Pestini 18__" ~ it is dark brown in color and looks very old. It also has a very skinny neck. I can't upload pictures/don't know how - and i know the lack of pictures make it hard to really tell anything but any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was told that it has a $5000 value but I personally would like to know if it is real or a copy -
Hello all! I am an owner of a cello I would like to get some more information on before I sell it. The inner tag reads "Framus Georg Hellmer Copy of Stradivarius Made in West-Germany" I used it for a number of years [at least five or six] while I was a student up until 1999, as evidenced by the nicks and scrapes on it's body. Images of the cello here: http://imgur.com/a/LUTqQ I am also contacting what I assume to be something related to Framus, as this page lists my instrument, but provides no other information. http://www.framus-vintage.de/modules/modells/modells.php?classID=18&typeID=140-147,151-155,159&katID=4679&cl=EN So, I have a number of questions: Condition. How would you describe it, what would it take to remove the blemishes, and is that something that should be done before selling? I don't even know the etiquette for selling instruments, are "as-is" transactions generally frowned upon? I thought I had more questions, but at this time I'm drawing a blank. When trying to appraise an instrument, what questions are asked? Approximate value, and what it could approximately be sold to a private party for. Cellos have a huge range of values is the bulk of my understanding.
