<p>[QUOTE=&quot;all_fakes, post: 4627518, member: 55&quot;]Not a name I am familiar with; however, my guess would be that as with many instrument dealers of that time, the Leo Master label was used to sell instruments from many different makers.&nbsp; I&#039;d think that at some past time the writer of the paper showed the violin to someone who claimed a bit of expertise, and was told that the instrument had not been made by Leo Master, but was a German violin sold under the Master brand name.</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; As always, for best opinions, there is no substitute for taking a violin to an accredited violin shop, such as a member of the American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers; see <a href="https://afvbm.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://afvbm.org/" rel="nofollow">American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers - American Federation of Violin and Bow Makers (afvbm.org)</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
