Question
I have a john Juzek vio;in, label inscribed, master copy of straditarvus, 1966 #170 made in Prague. and an Emil Dupree bow. where can I obtain more information on line. thank you Fred
Hi Fred,
There's very little reliable information about violins online. However, the best place to contact about your violin is Metropolitan Music Co. They're the sole importers and producers of Juzek violins for the last 50 years or so. They're based in Stowe, VT, and their website is:
www.metmusic.com
They would be able to tell you more about your instrument.
I hope this is helpful!
Sincerely,
Michael

Expertise
I can answer questions about the violin family of instruments, including violins, violas, cellos and their bows. I can give advice on repair issues, valuation, and authenticity, although exact appraisals are not possible through the Web. If you'd like an appraisal of a particular instrument, and you tell me your location, I can usually find someone in your area to take it to for help. I have no expertise in fretted instruments (guitars, mandolins, etc.).
Experience
17 years of experience working in violin shops across the US, including 4 years of owning my own firm in New Jersey and 3 years working as director of sales for one of the best-known firms in the world. Also, as a professional musician, I've known the violin all my life.
Education/Credentials
BM, Indiana University School of Music; AS, String Instrument Technology, Indiana University; MM, Rutgers University. I also have spent 24 years as a professional violinist and violist, and 17 years repairing, restoring, and dealing in instruments.
