r/ViolinIdentification

This violin and bow given to me by a friend. It belonged to her late husband, and I don't have any history on it. My guess is that it's German-made, from the early 20th century. Everything you see here, except the tailpiece and the strings, came with the violin. The original tailpiece is ebony and has a single fine tuner on the E string.

The label says "Joseph Guarnerius Fecit Cremonæ anno 1736 IHS" and the stamp on the bow says, "BAUSCH".

I'm not looking to sell it. I'd just like to know more about the violin and the bow.

Anything helps, grandmother bought it probably in the 80s/90s.

I'm just curious about more information about it.

Hi! My mother purchased this for me about 14 years ago to start learning violin. But I never started lol

I’m selling it now but I don’t know how much its worth. I posted it online and a lot of people are interested.

Please let me know the approximate worth or any info, as I don’t know anything about violins or music in general.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge xx

We found it in my MIL house. We do know her parents came to US in 1918 from Czech, maybe they brought it with them. Not sure though

An id would be greatly appreciated.
