Danke, Udo. Meine Frau ist Französischlehrerin. Sie hat mich davor gewarnt, Google Translate zu verwenden, aber ich werde es für zukünftige Posts verwenden. Ich denke deine Zeichnung sieht möglich aus, aber die zweite Figur ist definitiv geschlossen, eher wie ein 'g'. Ich nehme ein hochauflösendes B...

Are there the words "reparirt von" at the Gläsel- label in your violin? I can't see this at the picture. Hi Udo, I took a closer look at the Gläsel label on the upper block. There is definitely something printed on the bottom/center of the label but it is completely illegible. The size of the text ...

I don't believe that Carl Moritz Gläsel (or someone in his workshop) made such scratches to a violin! In my opinion these could are the initials of a former owner. And I don't read MG, may be it a R and a J. But the photograph is not really sharp. I know how difficult it could be to take pictures o...

Are there the words "reparirt von" at the Gläsel- label in your violin? I can't see this at the picture. Dan, what is your aim? Do you want to find out who made this violin, hopeful that it was an Italian maker? Or do you want to know more about Carl Moritz Gläsel. I'm still not sure about. Udo Hal...

Just a few more pictures...

Here are a few more pictures. We are trying to ascertain who built this violin—was it Moritz Gläsel, or did Gläsel repair the violin of another builder? We would love to receive any insights regarding: * Are there any surviving records of Moritz Gläsel? * Does he have any living descendants still ma...

Hallo zusammen, I have attached a few pictures of the Moritz Gläsel label and what we believe to be his initials inscribed on the back of the violin above the upper block. The label is located inside the violin affixed to the upper block. I will add a few more pictures in another post. The Google Dr...

Hallo nochmal, Udo. I found another instance of a Moritz Gläzel label. The label is attached to a Giovanni Dollenz violin. The label looks like the one found inside our violin except the words "reparirt von" are typed above Mr. Gläsel's name. I think I will check to see if I overlooked the words "re...

Vielen dank, Udo. We understand the rarity of authentic Joseph Guarnerius violins. We assumed grandpa's instrument was a replica, even though that's not the way he treated it. We didn't know it had the Joseph Guarnerius label until after he passed away. Grandpa (Johann Sigmund Zahlis) was trained in...

Hello, I apologize for my English but I am writing from sunny central California and my German is quite limited. We need help identifying a violin that has been in our family for over a century. The violin was owned/played by my grandfather, Johann Sigmund Zahlis. Our limited understanding of the vi...
