Violadamore Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 IMHO, trade/student violin, commercially made in the Markneukirchen/Schönbach area, around 1900-1920. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome, thank you for your input! I added some more photos, do you think there is any more information to share, perhaps on value? Let me know if other photos are necessary as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jo Stephens Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Not more than 100 years old, mass produced and probably German, new fittings that don’t fit very well. Value in the low hundreds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bodacious Cowboy Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Looks like it's had a bit of DIY antiquing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Someone liked to play a lot in the high register? It also may have had some shellac applied? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
