Hi, I am struggling to work out what my violin is prior to auction and was hoping to enlist the support of some experts! Below is the dendro report, which has produced unclear outcomes. Hoping someone could kindly provide their expert opinion. One thing is throwing me, Mittenwald violins are made with a one-piece bottom rib, which doesn't appear to be the case with this violin. Dendro Report: The belly is made in 2 sections, jointed down the middle. A total of 71 rings were measured on the bass side and 77 on the treble side. The grain orientation (tree-ring growth direction) runs from the edges inward on both sides. The tests were processed using the formula devised by Baillie & Pilcher for their 1973 CROS crossdating algorithm. This formula has been used by most professional dendrochronological software ever since. Results The most significant cross-matches with my database place the latest visible fully formed growth-ring on the bass side at A.D.1805 and a little later at A.D.1816 on the treble side. As the spring growth of the following year is just visible after the latest rings measured, one year needs to be added to the dates found, leading to an overall terminus post quem or earliest possible felling year of A.D.1817. A comparison of the plotted data on a graph shows very similar ring-patterns, slightly offset in time from each other. It seems clear that the 2 piece were recovered from the same tree. As the 2 sides are related, their data were combined into a mean chronology, which usually represents the general ring-pattern of the tree better than individual ring-series. The data were initially tested against published regional data from the International Tree-Ring Data-Bank (ITRDB). Several highly significant cross-matches were identified. The strongest results suggest that the origin of the trees is the central Alps. References from Switzerland, Kreuth in Bavaria, and southern Austria crossdated significantly. A good response was obtained against data from other instruments, with over 300 ring-patterns cross-matching significantly. From our database, they most significant cross-matches with the mean chronology (combined bass and treble side data) refer to the following instruments: A c.1840 Mittenwald violin, an 1870s French violin by JB Vuillaume, a 3/4 size Mittenwald violin of the Neuner school c.1860s, a violin attributed to the Panormo school, a Bavarian violin copy of Del Gesù, a c.1820/30 English viola of the Panormo/Furber school, a violin attributed to the "Marche" central Italian school, a c.1850/60 Mittenwald violin of the Neuner school, a French violin (Hill's import), a violin probably French c.1835/40, a Mittenwald Neuner violin , a c.1830 violin attributed to Italian school, a 1886 Mittenwald cello of the Neuner school, a 1838 French violin by A.S.P Bernardel, a c.1920 Italian violin by Leandro Bisiach, a French 1902 violin by Paul Bailly, an 1820 Mittenwald violin by Johannes Rieger, a 19th century Mittenwald violin, a c.1830s English cello, a c.1850/55 Mittenwald cello of the Neuner school, a c.1800 Bavarian/Mittenwald violin, a violin stamped "Goulding" possibly Mittenwald import, a French "Maggini copy, possibly Vuillaume workshop, a c.1890 German violin of the Dresden school, an English early 19th century cello probably by Joseph Panormo, a c.1855 Mittenwald cello, a c.1820/25 English violin by Jacob Fendt, a c.1890 Mittenwald violin by Neuner & Hornsteiner, an English viola of the Panormo school, a c.1840s Mittenwald Neuner violin, etc... The cross-matching tests identified correlations with instruments from a variety of origins, and it is therefore not possible to suggest a credible provenance for the instrument based on the results. Conclusion Essentially, with a dendrochronological or terminus post quem date of 1817, a making date from about the very early 1820s onward is possible.

Howdy, do you guys have an idea of who manufactured this violin? There’s no notes on the inside of the violin like normal and it’s supposedly 70+ years old. All I have to go off of is this insignia. The shop said it's German and 70 years or older. It has a lovely sound to it which makes me extremely interested in getting it. Any help is greatly appreciated! Here is the link to a list with all the pictures to the violin since for some reason I'm getting several errors when trying to upload some of the images on here for identification. https://imgur.com/gallery/w57alKJ

Mirecourt work, probably early factory work before 1900.

Please help me ID. I can mark them as: Tyrolean (Germany - Europe) baroque violin style of Jacob Stainer, Late 18th century? The corner blocks athey are tight fitting with no gaps. There is rib material between the neck and block joint, the lower and upper rib in one piece, saddle is embedded in the top plate, beveled fingerboard, fixing baroque necks - screw etc. In my opinion, the bottom plate of the violin and the neck (maple) were attacked by a worm before the violin was made. The holes (damaged) by the worms are perpendicular, the paths are shallow - no damage that penetrates deep or below the surface. Please give your opinion - thank you.
