  1. Hello everyone, I recently bought this violin at an auction and I'm genuinely curious if anyone can tell me anything about it. The label says "Joseph Guarnerius Fecit Cremonae anno 1754" with the IHS on the Right side and the cross above. Of course this is not a Guarnerius and I understand from reading here that it is probably a german trade violin made in the Markneukirchen region? Can anyone confirm that from the pictures? I was also just curious if anyone could tell me anything else about it just from looking at it. It looks like it has nails or pins in the back and a separate piece of wood where the end button enters. I've never seen either of those before. Maybe it was part of a previous repair? It also came with an unidentified bow that I'm curious if it would be worth rehairing. I will include photos below. I was actually able to string it up after resetting the sound post (including with the old gut D string it came with!) and the tone was good I think, nice overtones, although I just played it briefly and I don't think I have the sound post in the exact right spot. I think I am going to have to do something about the bridge feet depressions though. There was a slight buzz that I think was coming from the bridge feet or from the old D string. Any thoughts, ideas, knowledge, help would be greatly appreciated! Bow Pics:
  2. I have been having difficulty identifying this symbol on a violin bow. Anyone familiar with this marking?
  3. I'm curious if anyone would have information on the makers of these violin bows, particularly the one stamped what I believe is "crescenuu" or "crescenuv" though it would be more logical to think it read "crescendo"If my brief look into the above makers is correct, the first bow is a 1920-ish German make by Karl Grimm in the late 19th century, but I'm stumped with the second how's provenance...any ideas? A good find in terms of value even if in poor condition needing some TLC and restoration by a luthier? Violin is a 1737 strad copy and not my primary interest in this case.Thanks so much!
  4. Hello, I need help identifying this full size violin bow and/or a ballpark estimate of its value. There is no name etched on it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
  5. I recently went bow shopping and i have found a german bow that fit me perfectly (it felt like an extention of my hand) and was a delight to play especially for string crossings and techniques like sautille and spiccato could be executed effortlessly. Its sound was kinda meh compared to some fine french sticks that i have tried but it is not too bad either However, it is an older bow from the 1920s and was from a german workshop, and costs around 2400 freedom eagles. I was just wondering if the asking price from the dealer is justified, given its age and provenance. Can any of the experts give advice on the quality of the pernambuco and perhaps even shed some light on the particular workshop it was made in? Should there be any special care and attention given to older bows? Attatched is the picture of the bow in question. The stamp on the bow simply reads "TOURTE". The bow happens to be 55.7g and a bit tip heavy from what the sticker says Sorry for my ignorance, i know next to nothing about bows.
  6. Hi, I am new to playing the violin. Years ago I purchased an antique violin and bow and never bothered learning and have finally decided to jump into it. The violin I had restrung and that wasn't an issue but the bow I have, I am unsure if its worth it financially to have it repaired and haired by a luthier or if I should just stick with my cheap Korean bow I am currently learning on? The bow is marked TOURTE. I have searched here for posts about bows like mine and have found 2-3 but not much more information about it. What I am assuming from my own research is the TOURTE stamp on the bow isn't an actual French Tourte bow (as genuine Tourte bows aren't marked apparently) but a German bow based on a Tourte model/form. From the measurements I have found for actual Tourte bows, his bow matches exactly, except for the weight as its slightly lighter (due to lack of hair?) but the length & balance point are exact. I assume that they've matched the camber also but I haven't measured that. It is an octagonal bow, which I would like to hear others opinions on whether anyone here has experience with this style bow? Whether you prefer octagonal or round, is there a difference in play? I have attached the photo as a collage but if you need to see a photo larger let me know. I also know there's a rule against having a pattern background but I couldn't capture the wood grain or color properly or bright enough when done on a white background so I apologize for breaking that rule but I did try. The color is quite reddish-lighter brown and a bit darker than the photos but its the closest comparison. I don't know the type of wood, Pernambuco? or Brazilwood (not the Chinese type but the other part of the Pau tree)? or Beeswood/Abeille wood (Manilkara bidentata)? The front plate is ivory - can that be repaired or do I need to get another ivory one? I have read from others on here that its best to get an ivory replacement (instead of a synthetic material). It also needs padding & lapping and the frog (ebony/nickel?) needs to be reattached to the slide. Is it worth the dive to invest in repairing/hairing this bow? If you've been in my situation before, what would be a good price to have a luthier do this? We have an Italian violin luthier who's only a city away, so I want to know if his quote would be a fair price and what to expect. It honestly feels great in my hand, light and well balanced without giving fatigue to my hand, especially compared to my cheap Korean bow. Thank you for all your comments & suggestions for this newb, be gentle on my ignorance! All the best, D
  7. Hi I have my grandfathers violin here which his grandfather bought secondhand around 1890. Does anyone know the aprox age or country? It has painted purfling and no corner blocks. The sound post and nut are missing, I think the nut was ivory. Thanks
