Pro Libertate Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Hey, folks! Let me preface this post by saying I'm not naive enough to think this is an actual Guadagnigni. Aside from the obvious characteristics that set it apart from the real McCoy (violin fingerboard stained to look like ebony and quality not on par with the true article), Guadagnini wasn't in Milan in 1784-- he was in Turin. I bought this primarily as a wall-hanger, but I'm curious as to it's origin and provenance (if any). I'd greatly appreciate any help you could offer in identifying this fiddle! Thanks in advance.

Guido Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Low grade mass produced fiddle around 1900 ("the usual"), Markneukirchen/ Schoenbach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Libertate Posted December 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Thanks for chiming in! That's more than I knew before. So... needless to say, it's not worth a whole lot. I paid $70. Edited December 6, 2019 by Pro Libertate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyboardclass Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 In my book it depends what it sounds like. Certainly $70 would be the lowest estimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
