Fugue79 Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I paid only a few dollars for this when I was looking to try out a "baroque violin." Eventually got a good period instrument and this one now decorates a shelf at mom's. No corner blocks and at one time had painted purfling. So I don't expect this to be anything marginally decent. But I've always liked the looks of it. Just for the chance of an exception, I thought I'd ask Can anyone shed some light on the where, when, and why of this violin? Thank you !

deans Posted April 5, 2017 Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Looks like a classic Salzkammergut fiddle, probably 19th century. I wouldn't call it "factory" made. Pretty neat actually, why don't you get it set up and play it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugue79 Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2017 Thank you for the information! I had forgotten about it until today. I played years ago but without proper setup. Maybe I'll give it another try. Thank you nicolas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugue79 Posted July 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Would you have any idea of these violins value? It isn’t one I play so I am looking to pass it on to someone who may be interested in playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
