Recently, I got hold of a violin bow with the nurnberger name on it. I was hoping I might get some useful opinions on its authenticity here. Origin: It was gifted to me by a friend who knows nothing about music. He claims to have found it in his family house in an empty violin case. Tone: The bow performed beautiful resonant tones much harmonic. (It's less subjective since I felt this before seeing "nurnberger" and thought it was a worthless old bow). It easily has one of the best sounds I tried despite its original hair being old and yellowed. (I did afterwards rehaired it) Appearance: As photo shows it has *ALBERT NURNBERGER* with "nurn" almost worn off. The frog and screw does seem to be original. Though the frog is strangely uneven with a 'rough' cut out part on it. Presumably done by its last owner out it his/her playing habits. The whalebone windings seem to be legit and has white markings on the "belly" of the stick. Presumably rosin marks. According to my highly unprofessional eyes, the tip suggests it's nurnberger's tourt model if it indeed is genuine. One another question I was hoping to get answer is that there is the metal bit attached to the end of stick that's not a part of the screw. Has anyone seen similar bows? What's is purpose? Maybe to lengthen/rebalance the bow? Better photos could always be arranged. Thanks to all for reading or replying to this post. Cheers!

This is my moms old violin that she inherited from her grandpa a long time ago. I am wondering if it is authentic and if it is, what is its value? (Not looking to sell just curious of my family history)

After rabbit-tracking onto older Maestronet threads about authenticating Roths, Ebay spam below appeared in our Inbox (obviously we're being tracked!). We are NOT interested, just curious if this would be one of signed-label G.del Gesus by Roth. Google search popped up two newspaper entries from 1928 about Mr. Yehle, violinist in Missouri, commissioning Roth to make instrument; and census data, names and dates, line up with current Kansas sellers. Again, not pursuing, only curious. http://m.ebay.com/itm/311379626941?ul_ref=http%3A%2F%2Frover.ebay.com%2Frover%2F4%2F0%2F8%3Feecl%3D1%26eesi%3DUS%26i%3D1a9c310c3bfIId4c17II13e453II1a9c30f4573II1%26eepc%3D%2F311379626941%26bu%3D43167978961%26segname%3DB0FE698-00%26crd%3D20150617140058%26emParams%3Di%26sojTags%3Demid%253Dbu%252Csegname%253Dsegname%252Ccrd%253Dcrd%26srcrot%3D0%26rvr_id%3D0&_mwBanner=1
