Sheila Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 I am glad it was put on. I had a great time looking at the pictures and reading the discriptions. I even saw a real LeFleur, of which my own Rodney Mohr bow I use is a copy. There are many who post here and ask how to tell this and that violin from this and that and the same with bows. Studying these pictures and discriptions is not a course in violin identification but study the details of the scrolls, f holes, shapes, varnish color ranges, might be a start in the right direction.

Christopher Reuning Posted October 21, 1999 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Sheila, I am glad that you enjoyed the catalogue. I think that you can rely on the items being correct, so your studying of the pictures will be time well spent. I wish I could say that the other auction catalogues were as reliable, but, nevertheless, attending auctions and seeing instruments in reliable dealers showrooms remains the best way to learn. : I am glad it was put on.

I for one don't mind a small quantity of such announcements from the very advertisers that pay the bills for this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 I, too enjoyed the web site and will spend a lot more time looking at it. My question is this; how can they dare to auction off an instrument for $10,000 that isn't even set up??!! I can't imagine buying an instrument for that price without knowing if it was a dog or not! thanks Mimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Reuning Posted October 21, 1999 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Mimi, We wouldn't expect a player to buy a violin that is not set up, but dealers often do buy that way because they can tell, to some degree, what the instrument generally "should" sound like after it is restored or set up. This comes from their experience with different makers, models, wood and varnish. : I, too enjoyed the web site and will spend a lot : more time looking at it. : My question is this; how can they dare to auction : off an instrument for $10,000 that isn't even set up??!! : I can't imagine buying an instrument for that price : without knowing if it was a dog or not! : thanks : Mimi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
