Featured Thrift find - old violin w/Antonio Pazarini 1738 label, carved head

velly interesting reading

Rachel Podger, Antonio Pazarini, 1739 - Tarisio

 

the vargner head (i know it wagner) and especially (the look) of his name carved into the back of the head(of violin) looks very tacky so.......

i reckon an antique german wagner tribute violin, that someone has 'fiddled with'

don't think the Antonio Pazarini is a credible label (or maker) either

 

more importantly..........awesome buy for 50 dollars

 

Here's an interesting article about the use of false labels in violins.
