I bought this old violin and was wondering how old it might be and maybe an area of origin. . Has a grafted neck and worm damage. My opinion is that it’s probably an old cottage industry that someone decided to spruce up many years ago. Has a couple old repairs inside with linen for the worms I suppose. It had a sound post crack that I glued and cleated myself. With hide glue of course. I thought I’d try that before I tackled a patch. It was rather thick in the middle. 4.3 high point. Top was graduated like a back. High point to lower moving out. So it has some sort of pattern. Will include rough pics of grads. No laughing. I never planned for anyone to see. The graft looks real and inside is fake corner blocks. Also appears to be coated with something inside. Either varnish or propolis. It’s thin and I scraped some off while removing glue from the back. I can’t remember if it’s on the belly it was a while back. It’s plays pretty decent though not overly loud. Has a very nice tone. Any help would be great. I’m feeling a modified usual. Hopefully I’m wrong.
