Brescia School?

[Lidocaine]

The style of f holes is very peculiar.

Can some provide some insights to this violin?

Thanks!

POS = Hideous monstrosity made by a monkey with a mallet

Actually that's probably a bit unfair to monkeys

How many monkeys used to live in italy back then?

 

[martin swan]

I doubt this was made by Italian monkey

I assume as people pass off instruments with fake labels they may even insert fake repair labels.

Dat very ugly

Could be made before they evolved into violinmakers. Million years ago or so.

Maybe it's like Planet of the Apes, and what we are seeing here is the violin-making of the future, post-apocalypse

In which case $7435.20 is probably quite a bargain

7435.20 Zimbabwe dollars is only US$23.09. Even that seems a bit steep

It would look a lot better without the extreme polish job.
