Stringsnapped Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 Hey. Another newbie here. Ive done a bunch of research about my uncle's violin. Pretty positive the label is fake lol but I have learned a ton. Interesting journey into old violins. As a newbie how do I post pics to get some info about it and show off some interesting stuff....like the friedrich & bro chin piece with the church and graves carved in it? Anyway he got it at 12 in 1955. His aunts owned a music school in NYC. It's Labeled Gand Luthier eleve Lupot 1830. Which Gand did study under Lupot but not in 1830. Has a Friedrich & Bro chin piece from NYC. That guy died in 43 I think. He did import violins and has some interesting info online but I cannot find another chin piece remotely similar to this one? It looks like maybe it let me upload 1 pic but not anymore. Maybe as a comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbow Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 @Stringsnapped Welcome to the forum. Try uploading your other photos but make sure they are under 2mb each in size otherwise they may not upload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three13 Posted July 10, 2021 Report Share Posted July 10, 2021 The 1830 date isn’t a reference to when Gand Studied under Lupot, but represents the date that the instrument would have been made (assuming the label were real). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stringsnapped Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Thanks guys. I didnt not respond on purpose it said I couldnt post anymore for 24 hours. Is there a way to post the pics elsewhere so it doesnt take up so much space? I will try to resize not sure how to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stringsnapped Posted July 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2021 Do ig links work? https://www.instagram.com/p/CRMYhstrE3z/?utm_medium=copy_link if so Ill add more there and do that. I think I have slightly better photos of the label. Hard to do w a flashlight and a cellphone. I also have old bows and other stuff in the case. I know it needs some babying should have seen how it was when I got it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
