Brought to me 2 weeks ago an otherwise semi-valuable violin in an unsellable condition cosmetically speaking. After a $900 fix, his free(it was a gift) $12,000 violin is back in fine condition. Never underestimate what properly trained restorers can do to the value of you investment, and just the opposite. These six shots show the violin when it arrived. The first 2 with walnut wood stain rubbed into the pores of the maple. The next 2 show the scratches washed and ready for retouch, the last two are finished.
