This beautiful old violin was probably made 1890's-1910. As to where, in a lot of ways it looks American, looks like some Boston made violins I have seen, like Squier. But it could well be a high end Markneukirchen fiddle. It has had a full life, as you can see written on its face, all the old cracks are tight and seem stable. The back is awesome! Being a violin wood guy, I always appreciate a nicely flamed back. I will include a 30 year old Aubert bridge blank and tailpiece.
I've a feeling it will sound excellent.
This violin got discussed on Maestronet, and many felt it was American, and its quality was noted.
I may set it up in a week or two and change the price.
Please message for any more photos you need if interested.
Thank you for your consideration.

For Sale: Arthur Conner Fiddle For Sale - $4,200 USD
Arthur Conner Fiddle made in 2009. I bought this fiddle from Arthur in 2010 and it has served me very well in many capacities. While I was a student at Shenandoah Conservatory, I played this violin in orchestra, quartet, pit orchestra, and for solo performances. I also played it for the seven years that I played fiddle in the band Lonesome Highway. In addition to being a great live fiddle, it is just as good for studio work. I have used this fiddle on many recording sessions for bands and solo artists. It has been my main axe for eight years, including the past year that I have been playing with Audie Blaylock and Redline. The reason that I am selling this fiddle is because I need a louder instrument. This instrument has great tone and good volume, but I am frequently in a one mic set up and need something that projects more. I have included photos of the instrument. If you are interested and would like a video sample of how the fiddle sounds, just send me a direct message here on Fiddle Hangout.

For Sale: Not Your Average Chinese Fiddle - Sold - $450 USD
Here's the back story...
Over the course of 3-4 years I ordered 10-12 violins from the eBay Chinese folks like yita music and others. If it looked like a decent Guarneri I'd check it out. These are the ones that you see for about $400 or $500 plus shipping and when they arrive you immediately toss the bridge, sound post, strings, bow, case, and maybe the pegs. This was one of those, but the pegs were usable once they were fitted properly. The sound post and bridge were replaced and set up properly. Strings are newer. I've passed the other violins on, but I kept this one as my go-to, around the house, handy for a ten minute practice session fiddle. I firmly believe that this fiddle would sell for well over $1200 in the shop as-is. It is that nice.
I'll include decent black carbon fiber bow, and a GEWA dart case, the one that you can buy online for $100. Nice case, and a great fit!. I need to get $450 plus shipping. I've got twice that in it and it is worth more.
Of course, everyone needs to be happy with the deal, so take seven days to evaluate it and if it doesn't work for you, for any reason, just return it as you got it and you'll only be out the shipping both ways. If you are in Atlanta, you can take it for a spin in person.

For Sale: Cremona SV-1600 Master Series Violin Outfit - 4/4 Size - $999 USD
Cremona SV-1600 Master Series Violin Outfit - 4/4 Size
In new condition with upgrades. I took the violin to the premiere violin shop in Milwaukee (Korinthian Violins) to have the violin setup. I had them cut and fit a Despiau Superieur Three Tree bridge to the violin. I also had the tuning pegs worked over and the violin restrung with a new set of Thomastik Dominant strings. I will also include a new Pirastro Gold Label 'E' string. These upgrades cost over $175.
I am only selling because I have become disabled, have been unable to work, and need to pay bills.
You can get yourself a great deal on a beautiful violin!

For Sale: Carl Oliver Sycamore Violin - $3,500 USD
Violin #70 Made by Carl Oliver, Truth and Consequences, NM 1985. Original hand written certificate from maker will accompany violin.
A one of a kind fiddle based on a 1734 Del Gesu pattern. Back and sides of Sycamore and top of Engelman spruce. The fingerboard is not of ebony. It matches the appearance of the handmade pegs. It is likely rosewood, but I'm not positive. It has a fresh professional setup that is very easy to play and currently outfitted with Prim strings. Violin can be outfitted with strings of choice upon sale. Violin is in exceptional condition. The varnish is nearly impeccable without dings or scratches. The one repaired area is an open seam under the tailpiece, and this has been repaired and cleated on the inside. This was likely the makers doing as it does not appear as though the top has ever been removed. Fairly strong and even tone. Clear but with texture and richness. A fine sounding fiddle and quite the eye catcher!
$3500 - Negotiable. Thank you for looking!

For Sale: Royce Burt: German Fiddle #319 $1200 - $1,200 USD
The video of Royce playing this fiddle really tells the whole tale...video and photos at: dropbox.com/sh/npk3vcsnyfnqwxy...HGJa?dl=0
Re-voiced by Royce Burt in early 2017, this beautiful blonde c. 1910 re graduated fiddle displays tight grain on the belly and perfectly cut quartersawn back and sides. Royce rated this one a "ten out of ten". Pegs have been upgraded to Knilling Perfection Planetary pegs and an ivoroid tail pin. Currently strung with Prims including a Lisa E. In my care, this has been properly kept in a controlled 45% humidity environment. This old girl produces lots of volume; I bought this to get on top of banjo players who could not control themselves.
Price of $1200 includes shipping and insurance to lower 48 US locations at my expense. No Alaska, offshore or non-US sales. Be sure to view and listen closely to the video and the photos and know that you want this fine instrument. Royce Burt is one of the most respected luthiers in the country and this is one of his best instruments. It is unwise to ship an expensive, delicate and irreplaceable antique violin back and forth across the county due to buyer remorse...so, no return is offered on this item.

For Sale: Eugen Meinel - 1928 - $5,200 USD
This violin sounds as good as any I have ever heard. Power, response, bass support, texture, clarity, character, and just the right amount of sustain. A 1928 Eugen Meinel based on a 1725 Stradivarius model. This is one of the top level instruments from the Roth Markneukirchen workshop. Instrument is in excellent state of repair. A soundpost crack has been professionally repaired with the requisite soundpost patch repair. Two other small table cracks have been professionally repaired and cleated as well. Repair photos available upon request. Currently set up with steel strings and sounds fantastic, but can be set up with strings and tailpiece of choice. I'll be working on getting some sound samples made. Message me for more information or sound samples!
$5,200/ Negotiable.

For Sale: Andreas Eastman VL210 violin for sale - $425 USD
This is an Andreas Eastman VL210 model violin, made in 2013. It is in excellent condition with no cracks, nicks or scratches. It has D'addario Zyex strings, except for the E string which is a Lenzener Gold Brokat. It comes with a high quality Eastman hard case and a carbon K Holtz bow and rosin. The instrument has the kind of mellow sound which is associated with Eastman instruments (the difference between the VL 200 and the VL210 is that the latter has a slightly redder appearance). I've been happy with this fiddle; my only reason for selling is that I only play occasionally and now want to devote myself entirely to my banjo playing.

For Sale: Ruggieri violin - a topclass fiddle !! - 2,450 EUR ($2,881.22 USD)
Very good, loud and projecting Francesco Ruggieri labelled violin with second label "Collection Joh. Stuber Den Haag". The instrument is in a very good condition and probably around 50-100 years old. Violinmaker Uli Schnorr has fitted a new fingerboard, pegs and bass-bar around 1999. Perfect intonation, and has been selected for studio recordings by technicians for it's clear well balanced sound.
A trained classical violinist played it occasionally and got a superb loud and projecting sound out of this instrument.
Momentarily fitted with Wittner fine tuner tailpiece and Spirocore strings. Latter can be altered at costs with a traditional tailpiece and Dominant strings. Comes with invoice for insurance. Violin will be shipped in a quality case without bow. A matching bow can be included at extra costs when needed. For classical players: the violin can be set up with Thomastik Dominant strings before shipping at costs.
PLEASE NOTE: the violin will be dispatched seriously packed, with the bridge detached. IT's IMPORTANT TO CHECK if the SOUNDPOST is still in position and not fallen over, and if in doubt, CHECK this with a local Violinmaker BEFORE STRINGING IT UP.

For Sale: Nice Czeck fiddle - priced to sell - $399 USD
Full size Czeck fiddle. Copy of Antonius Stradivarius. Bridge set up for fiddle playing. Comes with a molded case and a fiddle bow. Although the finish has a few scratches, this fiddle has no deep gouges, cracks or other broken parts. I do not know what year it is but my guess is 1950's or 1960's; maybe earlier, maybe later. The case is in good shape except is missing its handle. I have owned this fiddle since about 1990. It has a nice tone and medium volume. For the price, it is a steal.

J.R.Carlisle violin. Would like to sell. I have no idea of what to ask . Came in a deteriorated alligator case with a bow made by Saxony which I could not date.
Pictures show the makers trademark thumb print inside fiddle. Also have a letter by J R Carlisle addressed to the original buyer of the fiddle in TN. I have researched somewhat and that is why I have no idea about price. Thought maybe someone here could help me.
