Inherited family heirloom violin, but I think it might be fake!
Hello! I just inherited my concert violinist mother‘s “1864 Enrico Ceruti” violin and have been asked to get it insured & pass it on to my children since it is alleged to be extremely valuable. Help! I have an appointment with a luthier, but I will be so embarrassed if it’s fake after all of the family hagiography around it. The label is making me suspicious. Can anyone give me an honest opinion if it is worth even asking a luthier? TIA!
