I have a Maggini copy that has a date stamp inside that states "Giovan Paolo Maggini in Bres(f)cia 1634. I noticed others were stating that their copy also had a German or otherwise manufacturer info but mine does not. It has been in my family since either WW1 or WW2 and was brought back from Italy by my great-grandfather. I have searched the internet over trying to find approximate info on value but no luck so far. It also has two bows as well in the case. Any info on a good place to locate values in NC?

Possuo um Violino Giovan paolo Maggini, Made in Germany em 1695.
Gostaria, que alguém pudesse me ajudar a saber ou me avaliar esse instrumento.
Desde já muito agradecido.

OK, folks, here's the scoop. Thousands of copies of fine maker violins have been produced over the years. While the violins made by the real maker can fetch a LOT of money at violin auctions, the copies are worth much less, depending on condition, playability, sound, quality. Copies may be worth zip, or up to a couple of grand, seldom more (unless made by another fine maker, but they usually include their own label). If you think you have the real thing, or even a good copy, I'd recommend contacting an expert for an appraisal.
