Take a look at the overall patina of the instrument! Looks gorgeous to me! This photo also betrays the 2 sides which will need repair and replacing.

A close up of the side which needs repair. The sides are usually worn off over time.

Take a look at the hole near the neck of the violin. This hole was originally a pin marker used to centralize the belly and the back to the top and end blocks! Some replacement wood will be necessary!

A bad knock to the front bass side of the top caused this ugly mark. Thank God, no cracks again!
