Question
Dear Al,
You recently got this e-mail about a Andreas Guarnerius violin.
Question
Hello, I have my great grandfathers fiddle. The only label inside says, Andreas Guarnerius Fecit Cremonae and the second line is Sub titulo Sanctae Teresiae 1640
The 16 is stamped and the 40 is hand written on the label.
the lable does have a thin black line border on the botton that appears to be hand cut a little crooked. The violin is in rough shape, the bridge the nut, the end pin are gone. The tailpiece is in the black wooden case. I can send you pics if you like. The back, sides and neck appear to be flame maple The quesion is do I have a copy or the real thing and is it worth anything. Thank you in advance. Terry Bart tbart@wyom.net
I to have the same violin with the same label in good shape. Can you suggest a place where I can take it for more info?
I'm in San Diego, CA.
Many thanks
