How Old Do You Think My Violin Is?
The label on the inside of my violin it looks like this:
Copy
————————————–
Jacobus Stainer in Absam
————————————–
C. Mv Reichel
Violin macher
————————————-
I’m not sure if the C. Mv part is right. The ink is kind of faded. I know that it is a copy of a Jacobus Stainer violin, but I don’t know who the other guy is or how old my violin is.

Im not the best at this, i would say its anywhere from 20 to 50 years old (ball park estimate), but it is a very nice violin, it is obviously a copy of a famous violin, & it even has a Violin matcher.

Well, here is a website about Jacobus Stainer:http://rperras.tripod.com/id37.htm
And I think that on the
C. Mv Reichel
Violin macher
part, that macher is supposed to be maker.
So it should read:
Copy
————————————–
Jacobus Stainer in Absam
————————————–
C. Mv Reichel
Violin maker
————————————-
I Googled both of the names but didn’t find anything worth looking at for the
————————————–
C. Mv Reichel
Violin macher
————————————-
part.
