AlexiaNikolaya Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 Please help me. I have inherited violin from my grandpa, he had it for decades. He said it is very old, he bought it for golden ducats from a good violinist. Someone told me it is Klotz because of symbols imprinted on its back. Please help me and tell more about rough estimation. I have heard that original Klotz violins value from 5K euros to even 10-15Ks.http://www.flickr.com/photos/133490948@N04/
palousian Posted June 23, 2015 Report Posted June 23, 2015 I'm not the one to venture an attribution in this case, but it does appear to have one or more open cracks on the belly and perhaps a (repaired?) soundpost crack on the back. Could be expensive to fix up properly...
