Hi, I recently recieved a Violin from my great grandma. She told me to sell it so I could get some money to use for school.
She told me that its a 100yr old German Student Violin. She took it to a Violin shop and the guy said it was made with good strong hand worksmanship.
I took a light and copied down the lettering inside the violin. There was a small dot that blocked out some letters
Antomus(dot here)radiuvarius Cremonenfis Faciebat Anno 17
I tried using a Translator, but it didnt turn out to be anything diffrent, so I dont know what it means. I'm assuming Anno 17 means Number 17, but thats all I can think of for that.
It came with 2 bow's. One is in excelent condition the violin guy said he would buy it for $100, but we wanted to sell the whole thing, he gave an estamte of about $1,500 dollars for the whole thing, but im trying to get a 2nd or more professional opinon if there is one out there.
Thanks for anyone who can help.
