I think you will get your money back when you decide to sell it.. meanwhle you get a lot of use.
jkrichards Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Can anyone advise... Is it possible to tell whether that crack will affect a. the tone or b. the value of the instrument? I wonder if anyone with some repair experience could comment. The reason I ask is I'm potentially interested in this listing (for myself, as a player), but wary of problems that the crack could bring. On the one hand, could end up being a very nice instrument. On the other, after repairs, could end up being not worth the effort. Thanks
jkrichards Posted January 14, 2012 Report Posted January 14, 2012 Can anyone comment on the crack listed in this posting? I'm interested in this violin (for myself, as a player), and wondered if this is a serious repair that would impact a. the sound/playability or b. the value. Also, curious to know if this is something that would need to be diligently maintained once repaired. Any comments would be much appreciated. Kind of risky to buy a fiddle on ebay in the first place, never mind one that would need to visit the violin hospital before it can even be tried for the first time. However, it may be worth the gamble... Thanks
Oldtimerr Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Looks to be a nice Roth model VIIIR. Hello CCM and Everyone else. Would anyone care to give their opinion on why this nice looking Roth model VIII only sold for $3600? OT
martin swan Posted January 16, 2012 Report Posted January 16, 2012 Well it's a fair market price - at auction on public display it would have sold for $4-6000, on Ebay obviously the price is going to be lower because you can't handle the goods in advance. The crack wasn't an issue at all - sorry not to have commented earlier but I didn't see the post. Most Ebay buyers aren't prepared to pay a decent price for something like this, and will consistently look a gift horse in the mouth - any number of dealers would have paid more than that at a London sale.

Why it that so? Anyone has that experience? Has it been sold? Do not buy anything if there is no return policy within a week. PS. Now I know it was sold. Nice violin I must say.

Fellow Posted January 20, 2012 Report Posted January 20, 2012 Try scrolling... it's further down on the page... ++++++++++++++ Thank you. Now I know it was sold at $3,556 Nice. I think it must be a violin shop bought it. They do not want it to compete with their own, so take it out of the market. It may soon show up in my friendly local violin shop window with a nice set up and with a higer price tag. I have too many violins or I would consider it. PS. When I said I consider it. I meant I have to play it side by side with another violin I have. A few min each and change turns.
