[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 273606, member: 55"]Violins are so specialized a field that one is unlikely to find specific information online or in this forum, other than that label has been used on many instruments made in the 1900s, mostly in Germany, by any number of makers. There are many reputable violin shops, and you should probably take the instrument to one of them for an opinion. There would be no specific information on origin or characteristics, except from such a shop. Value could be anywhere from $50 to $5,000. You could try an internet search for "Maggini violin copy." Here are several with labels similar to yours: $600: [URL]http://www.violinviolacello.com/PageOfGiovanPaoloMagginiViolin.htm[/URL] $1400: [URL]http://www.vithefiddler.com/product/maggini-copy-early-1900s/[/URL] $2800: [URL]https://www.cassandrastrings.com/instruments/string-instruments/vintage-string-instruments/german-maggini-copy-violin[/URL] $2200: [URL]http://aplusviolin.com/German-4-4-1910-E-Martin-Maggini-Copy-Violin-HGH.htm[/URL] Here's a discussion of Maggini copies: [URL]http://www.theviolinman.co.uk/messages/688.html[/URL][/QUOTE]
