I purchased a German Glass violin that needs some repair. First, the finish has been sanded to bare wood on the top. Second, it has a machine head because the peg holes were enlarged. Third, the tone seems affected because the grafted (nailed) neck contacts the top of the instrument (perhaps because of the amount of arching in the top or because of the neck installation and angle). Fourth, there is a crack in the fingerboard, so it needs replacing. I am interested in an appraisal and in getting the instrument put in better condition. The label reads: friedr. aug. glass verfertigt nach; Antonius Stradiuarius Fies; Fabrikat in Cremona 1737; Made in Germany.
