Bill Yacey Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm certainly not an authority, but based on the Stainer brand below the button, and what appears to be bulgy arching on the top, this is in all probability a factory offering.

jacobsaunders Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Schönbach "dutzendware" from the end of the 19th C.,quite a nice one. Bill, if he doesn't mind me saying so, is not accurate when he calls it "factory". These violins were made in a cottage industry system: the vm. went to the dealer with his wheelbarrow, fetched wood and bits, went home where he and the entire familly made 12 violins, and brought them back to the dealer, who(labeled) and sold it. Hense the name in German "dutzendware" (Dozen wares). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
