uguntde Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 Here another violin, where I am asking for some advice regarding its authenticity and value. It is labelled AEgidius Kloz in Mitten -vvald and der Iser 1783 The 783 in ink and hard to decipher. The label is almost identical to the one shown here: http://typo.geigenbaumuseum-mittenwald.de/index.php?id=177 (does not have the question marks) The instrument had a number of fine repairs, including a neck graft done in the French style, and has been half-edged. All repairs are of outstanding quality. The instrument is in mind condition, no sound post patch, not even scratched inside. Body lenght is 348mm, string lenght 316. Amazing rich and sweet tone, particularly on the G-string. Here some pictures: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0029.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0111.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0112.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0113.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0115.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0116.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0117.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0118.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/DSC_0119.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55359857/Aegidius%20Kloz/LGG_6476.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jacobsaunders Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 That Looks rather good, although I wouldn't call a violin with a fresh looking worm hole "mint" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathan slobodkin Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Nice violin for sure, I agree with Jacob however that the worm hole next to the button looks as if you may have an active beetle larvae in there. I would recommend taking whatever steps neccasary to deal with this sooner rather than later.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uguntde Posted December 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 Amazing how you spotted the worm hole. This was the first thing I had dealt with when I had it abouy a year ago. It was treated with Rentokil and filled in. No activity since. Does this need regular checking? Are these Aegidius Kloz violins often relatively small? And does size in this case affect the value?
