Any member of the association mentioned above is not going to intentionally undervalue a violin, or try to buy it for a lowball value; and they can easily tell you whether it is worth getting a formal appraisal, which would include comparison with instruments by known makers listed in the huge directories and catalogs they&#039;d have available.&nbsp; And they&#039;d be able to tell if the cracks visible on that one-piece back are significant or not; and tell you whether it was worth the cost of repair.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
