Looking for a Luthiery in Sydney Australia
I have inherited my Grandfathers violin. It is a very old and beautiful instrument. It has a printed label that reads "Antonis Stradivarius Cremonenfis Facibat Anno 1727 (27 is handwritten). There is also a small
round logo with an A S and cross.
It is in good condition with wear marks from being played in the obvious places. It also has an original bow with the stamp of LUPOUT.
We would like to have it appraised in view of selling but cannot find any Australian dealers. We would be grateful for any advice you can offer.
Regards,
This came in on the contact form but with permission we have entered it on the Forum so that we can find a good luthiery in the Sydney area to help out.
