jacobsaunders Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Rather doubt it. Does it have a stamp at the end button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin swan Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Agree - this is neither a genuine Oddone nor a copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Preuss Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Pictures are too blurry anyway to say much. The purling and corners look about right, but this alone doesn’t make it an Oddone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rue Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 Regardless of what it is, it looks like quite a well made instrument, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin swan Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 very long spindly corners, poorly scribed bee stings, narrow purfing, graceless f-holes ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasterercaster Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 It's highly likely that this is a genuine Oddone violin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoGo Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 It most certainly IS the same violin. The back figure is like human fingerprints and the bare(?) spot on back looks identical. I have no idea if Tarisio attribution is correct or not but I wonder why OP didn't get back with answer to Jacobs question about the stamp.

Blank face Posted November 25, 2021 Report Share Posted November 25, 2021 With an estimate of 20-30 K the auction house doesn't seem to be very convinced of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shows up much clearer in the auction photos than the Tarisio photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could also just speak to Andreas Woywood and ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tung Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I am actually asking Ewbank for more photos and waiting for reply. Edited December 26, 2021 by Mr.Tung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a violin for my daughter, she actually tried another Oddone before but the owner doesn't want to sell his violin. I bought her another violin but it's not very good and I don't wanna make one more mistake again. Then go to a reputable dealer in your part of the world and pay for an example with proper guarantees. Make sure it has an independent certificate from a respected source, make sure it has a full condition report, and make sure that your daughter and her teacher/s really like the sound. Don't try to cut corners if you don't know what you are doing. Sorry to be blunt but this is good advice which will save you money and pain in the long run.

She use an Oddone for a competition before which is borrowed from her teacher. She felt very good. So I think that could be the right choice for her. So if you are looking for an Oddone you need to be sure it's genuine. Secondly you need to be sure that it sounds good. Many of these early 20th century makers are wildly inconsistent - some sound great, some sound like nails on a blackboard. Go to a dealership that offers a full service, and make sure her teacher is on board. Try the violin extensively before you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
