Inside of the violin is a label that says Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1614.  The same story applies to this violin as to all of the Strad Faciebat copies.  It was made in a German cottage factory around the turn of the century.  The wood is nice German maple and spruce. The only difference is that this is a copy of Amatus violin construction techniques and specifications. With the differences in construction, there is a difference in sound that is noticeable.

Our luthiery had to glue the body, refit the pegs, reshape the bridge and build a new nut.  The sound post was replaced as the old one was knocked down to prevent sound post cracks during shipment via air cargo.  It has a few marks but is very nice considering that it is over 100 years old. This violin would be for a young student in a youth orchestra or a mature violinist who wants a violin to play every day.
