Just had a client bring in a violin which I am quite sure is low to mid range MK but has Antonio Curatoli, "made in Italy" on the label. Were people able to get away with this at some point? I have occasionally seen instruments which were some sort of collaboration between commercial firms, most interestingly an Italian/ Brazilian connection' but didn't know quite what to make of this one. No pictures I'm afraid as it was in my hands just long enough to tell him it wasn't worth fixing.
