fdl13 Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 Anyone familiar with either Ian Highfield or Pietro Guaretto as makers? I'm interested in possibly purchasing a violin by one of these guys from my local shop. I can't seem to find anything about either of them on the web.

fdl13 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Does the fact that I have no responses, suggest that these makers are phonies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCockburn Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Ian Highfield exists: he works close to Sheffield in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdl13 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Since there has been little response, would it be safe to assume that I shouldn't be considering these violins when their price is in the $15-20,000 range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlecollector Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Just because Ian Highfield doesnt have a large internet presence doesnt mean he isnt a maker worth considering.I wont comment on the pricetags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
