I have received a family violin that is a copy of the Joseph Guarnerius. It is iscribed like an original on a label with 17 printed and 74 hand written. Through the other opening it has "German Manufacture". I am curious to find out the maker of this copy and whether I should get it restored so my kids can learn to play.
Let me know what you think.
