Pioden Old German Violins: info sought (24) RE: Old German Violins: info sought 20 Mar 07

Hi - Resurrecting a REALLY old thread, I know, but I just found this site by looking up info on a violin, and recognizing "mudcat" from discussions with other musicians. ANYWAY - In reference to the Hans Schuster - just in case you've not found any more info on it, I'd like to offer some.
Given, a Schuster labeled as follows:

Hans Schuster
Geigenmacher
Mittenwald, Germany
No. 119    1961

This instrument was appraised for insurance purposes (read: not necessarily what it would sell for, but replacement cost for a similar quality instrument), at $2,000 dollars, back in 1998. Granted, the violin has been fairly well kept up, but I hope your friend has theirs looked at and properly repaired, because it is a good instrument.
If you already know this, cool (and it sounds as it you liked the way it sounded).
Pioden
