Old German HOPF stamped violin. This is believed to be a “Klingenthal” HOPF from the late 1800s. With that being said there is no documentation to provide that info so I do not truly know. There are cracks in the f holes which seems to be common. I let a luthier look at it and was told that the cracks were harmless and are common with these models that old. It’s a great bluegrass fiddle. Notes are very clear and direct. Includes old case but no bow. Make me an offer. Worst I can say is no. Thanks!
