RobWanger Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) I am new to refurbishing violins and have just been working on cheap, factory models from the 60s (replacing mechanical pegs, putting in new sound posts, etc) for fun, but I really want to start opening up violins and fixing cracks, finish, etc. I purchased this Stainer(hopefully copy) for $10. It will need to be stripped, no getting around it the paint is about an inch thick. It will need a crack fixed on the f-hole and re joined at the center which is exactly what I’d like to do. I just want to make sure this is in fact a cheap copy and not something that I need to take to a professional. Thanks!

Violadamore Posted January 24, 2021 Report Share Posted January 24, 2021 Welcome to MN! IMHO, the only professional who'd be interested in that masterpiece would be a waste-disposal engineer. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
