[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 121915, member: 55"]As to condition, I don't see any major issues with the current violin, though there could well be cracks that don't show in the photos. It needs a tailpiece and bridge, but that is a very minimal repair. I note that the $1800 instrument in the Skinner's auction was also lacking a bridge and tailpiece. Condition would be relevant if it needed $1000 of work; but the bridge and tailpiece would be less than $100 in a violin shop, and would not have a major effect on value.[/QUOTE]
