Strad O Various Jr. Posted June 28 Report Share Posted June 28 What is see is a $500 violin that was lost in shipping and should have been insured, I don't see evidence of grand theft!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron1 Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 Seems strange that a real Carlo Bergonzi instrument would have ever gotten to the condition shown in the photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strad O Various Jr. Posted June 29 Report Share Posted June 29 The carving of the underside of the scroll appears to stop at 7 O'clock which along with the BOB construction would be consistent with a Markneukirchen trade violin, the graft looks like it could be fake too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
