<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 1144292, member: 55"]Only a reputable violin shop can tell you what it is worth, and if it is worth doing the necessary work. Violins in general cannot be evaluated online; and the "strad" labels tell you basically nothing. Try <a href="https://www.afvbm.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.afvbm.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.afvbm.org/</a> for a list of reliable shops in the US; they also have an article about this kind of "Strad" which you might find interesting.</p><p>Nothing in particular strikes me about this violin, other than the need for tuning pegs, a bridge, tailpiece, and strings. No way to tell if the sound-post is still in the right place. The varnish looks pretty basic, not what I'd expect from a high-end instrument. But a good shop could tell you for sure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
