GennadyF. Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Does anyone here own a violin made by Henry R. Knopf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane88 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Hey Gennady, Not anymore. I sold it about 6 years ago. Very Germanic work, and branded on the side of the heel, under the end button, on the bass bar, on the neck block... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the German immigrant who worked in Ny until 1939? i know he made instruments, but he also surely imported them, and best to clarify which you have. Fine Bowmaker, too.
