<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 3059186, member: 3974"]'Copy of' doesnt necessarily mean bad quality...most violins/cellos etc are made in the form of models from historically famous makers. A stringed instrument bearing a "copy of" label (without other factors considered) could be worth $50 or $500 or $5000. The chances this particular instrument is above student grade isn't great, but even some student instruments can be valued in thousands of dollars. Being that its Hungarian made, and not made properly yesterday, my opinion is that its worth getting it evaluated at a luthier, if that involves great cost, probably not worth it, but if its relatively low cost or free, why not?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
