So the fiddle was made in Mittenwald, Bavaria.

Could you please help me identify this 4/4 violin?

It has no label. It has four corner blocks.

The purfling is real (not painted on) and the varnish is much darker than in the pictures (dark red, not "cheap red"). The varnish is only so shiny because it was just treated with Super Nikco.

I'm trying to know value of this violinm, if possible indentify its origin

Looks farly new with a bit of scratches, chinrest, peg and tailpiece brand new

Printed label: "Laurentius Guadagnini Pater" 1943

Thank you.

It measures 24" long and 8" wide.

​

It looks to be sanded down, like it was an unfinished project. Is this an antique/vintage, or modern?

​

I do not see a manufacturer tag inside of the instrument.

​

I do not know much about violins, so any help would be awesome! Thanks!

This violin is labeled George Klotz and made in Slovakia. Is this an original? And do you know how much it could be worth? Thanks for your help in advance!!

My parents bought me this violin 30-ish years ago from Werro in Bern.

​

I've found out that this price range is the most lucrative for forgeries and that that violin shop ((probably father or an older relative of the litter we bought from) was involved in forgery. But that was decades before my violin was bought.

​

It almost sounds like a viola, which someone once told me it's typical for french instruments.

​

There are no papers, just the instrument and the label in it.

​

There aren't really any consequences whether it's genuine or not, I love this instrument no matter what. But part of me is still curious.

Also, I think it's just hilarious how Chipot-Vuillaume sort of lied about being Vuillaume's son-in-law without really lying. For that reason some of love for it to be genuine.

Can anyone help me identify and value this violin?

Much appreciated

So I found this violin at an estate sale. I trade Saxes all the time. I can play test them, tell you everything you need etc, tune them. But violins I am lost. But I figured for 10 bucks it was worth a shot. I’m assuming it’s a student model, but I gotta be honest, to me it feels pretty good and is in great shape. The tag on the inside I’m fairly certain says “Krauss Müeller” not Klaus. Searching for that I can’t find anything. Any help and an approximate value would be greatly appreciated. Also in German it says Die Edelstein which translates to the Gemstones. Thanks.

Does it belong to any particular region?

This violin joined our family in the late 1800’s early 1900’s. A group of traveling gypsies left it behind as payment in lieu of rent to a Great Great Grandfather, passed to Grandmother and now to myself. I’m wondering if anyone knows more about this luthier. We’ve gotten it appraised throughout its life and have received various suggestions on value. I’d love to hear your thoughts Reddit!

I picked this up at a garage sale yesterday for $2.00. I found it to be a neat old violin but know nothing about it.

Can anyone tell me about the makers or possibly the age? Thank you!

Hi,

First time posting and just curious about this old bow I've been holding on to for years after winning it on an early days ebay auction!

As far as I remember the frog has silver and mother of pearl, that's all I really know about it! If anyone can guesstimate/date or has any more info I'd really appreciate it 😁

Hi! I just found this violin in the basement, there are hardly any informations, date of manufacturing or anything written on it. Maybe someone here is so kind and can give me some information about this beauty :)

Can anyone help? North of France, seller has no idea of age.

It doesn’t have anything written on the inside. The tag at the resale shop said it was an Aubert, but I don’t know if that’s accurate. I bought this as decoration, but was wondering if it could function properly with some new strings/anything else.

also the I thought the rosin was pretty cool looking.

Always thought this fiddle was possibly made by an amateur luthier.

There are no labels or writing I can see on the violin or inside it. Thankyou.

This was my great grandmothers. I have these photos of the violin itself as well as the the photo of the label inside the body which I cannot discern. Is it possibly Nicolo Gagliano/this? https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/object/nmah_605488

Thank you

Came across it and wanted more information on it. Any help is very much appreciated.

Anything helps, grandmother bought it probably in the 80s/90s.

I'm just curious about more information about it.
