Who made my violin?

You might have got your hands on a seemingly old violin, and wonder: Is this a Stradivarius? Maybe I am a Millionaire?

Well, in most cases you are not that lucky. But if the violin looks old and has a more unfamiliar name on the lable inside, it might be of interest to check if this violin actually looks similar to the genuine ones made by that maker.

We can make that check for you. Just take carefully measures as shown below, fill in the table with the data and send it to us with a push on the button. If you have a good photo you may take the measurements from that. It does not have to be a full size photo, measurements from any quality photo are OK.

Name of the violin:

Input your data here row by row as in the table shown below*

a: ---
b: ---
etc.

After analysis we will give you an answer, at present free of charge during the development of this service. Such an analysis will give a list of violin makers who made violins closest to your submitted measurements. An example of such an analysis is given below where a violin made by M Deconet is compared with over 100 different violins. Apparently his violin looks similar to both my own violin (Örjans fiol) and violins made by JC Leidolf.
