Guidance For Inexperienced Buyers |
Experienced people can skip this bit
If you are inexperienced please consult either a luthier or experienced person before bidding . Please use a PC to view images. You may not be able to view the detail or repair needed on a phone.
Any vintage violin sells for a minimum of £400 in a violin shop. Expecting to buy a set up playable 100 year old violin for £60 or a fully restored vintage bow for £5. is unrealistic
The convention with labels in violins is if described as "labelled " eg "Antonius Stradivarius" the seller is basically just describing what is written on the label - no more. If he says a violin is "by" + name he is stating that the instrument was made by that person.
The same convention applies with bows ?Branded? just means that is the name branded on the bow. ?By? means that is the name of the maker. For example a lot of bows are branded ?Tourte? This just implies the design of the bow.
