Pixiepurls Posted December 26, 2020 Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 This has two dates hand written and one seems to be very wrong. It has two labels inside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pixiepurls Posted December 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) More pics. I found it for $25 at a shop and it had strings missing. Bow all messed and needed a new tailpiece so this is after it was give. Those new bits. Sound post I think was rolling around inside. Got a new bridge. I don’t remember if we have it new pegs or not. Repairs cost around $350 I don’t know if it was worth it but she just was pretty and seemed worth saving. 3/4 size I think. I would love to know it’s age.

Strad O Various Jr. Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 The back appears to be seperating from the sides at the bottom, these violins are worth about $200 fully set up Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martin swan Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 To me it looks more like an additional line of varnish covering the seam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t want anything too expensive to fix. So You are correct. as far as myself and the luthier can see anyway. Edited December 27, 2020 by Pixiepurls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
