According to the Hills, all original Maggini’s were labeled “Gio: Paulo Maggini in Brefcia .” (the “f” of course being that “Italianate” “s”)… I’d buy a dating of circa 1870-1930, pending a closer inspection, but, yes, definitely above the run of the mill Maggini copy, and yes, the Chinese do some amazing work! - Cheers, Glenn
If you look on various sites you’ll see this same violin for sale. It’s easy to get excited about some of these forgeries, but they are never what you hope they are. The bright side is that if this is anything like my fake Badarello, it’s a good instrument that can give you years of enjoyment. Signed, Been there, done that 😂😂
Anyway Antique violins is still much prescious that the vibe and quality of the wood is made by an abilty which that ability today has already expired, Irreplacable diamond and i would like to buy it
Clearly a reproduction…not very old…no neck graft or rebushing of the peg holes…scroll is completely wrong and although the double purfling is correct the instrument is 250 years after the original.
I bought one last night $164 ebay auction German copy beautiful instrument has one crack I need to fix but the flame maple back was just what it took to hook me I'll get a video it
Same poster as the 4/4 Stradivari violin ... how convenient. Both are real or both are fakes. It is too coincidental that the same person posted about both old violins...
The violin experts and investors can make all the comments they want .... regular folks do not much care ....if this is a fake of a 1600s violin, specify just why and post a video of the expose.

A 19th century copy, the real ones do not have an extra turn on the scroll
All necks were replaced
Looks more like 21st century to me

You must be the luckiest person on this paltry planet. You have found so many multi-million dollar instruments.

It's not antique. It's 'antiqued'.
@@jono1457-qd9ft yeah, i mean both😅 maybe?😅😅😅
1930s. Germany. Well made.
2020s
Why the back of the scroll is not worn out for the violin made in 1600th? Is this a copy?

THANK YOU Don Foster ! For the close up of your Maggini Gratzi!
Modern
Looks Chinese to me. Maybe worth about $150.
Wow , where did you find it...
On eBay 🤔

Same poster as the 4/4 Stradivari violin ... how convenient. Both are real or both are fakes. It is too coincidental that the same person posted about both old violins...
Fake, neck’s not grafted , no usual wear marks. Wishful thinking
All violins are copies except the first one, just like us 🤓 it depends on the sound we make when we play wether good or bad, ALL COPIES 🗡️😶🌫️
another Chinese copy found on eBay

it is not a fake just a copy.
Your credibility, when it comes to violins, is zero with me.
That heavy mouth breathing is pretty creepy.
