I recently purchased this violin from a local shop. I'm wondering where it was made and when and any clues as to its value. It has patches to the top allong the inner side of each F hole. I'm curious about these if anyone knows what may have happened here. It also has other cracks allong the top that seem to be repaired. It has no lable inside. I'm new to playing but to my ear and the violin shop owners this violin sounds pretty good. My resurch on the web seems to point toword it beeing made in germany between 1850 to 1925 or so. Anyone have any information?
