About a year ago I bought a violin in an auction for 25 bucks. It is called a Stainer. One of my dearest friends has a little boy who has cerebral palsy and wanted to learn to play a violin so I took it to the music shop and had it fixed up and bought him a case (simple repairs nothing major at all). The repair man said it was worth about 2K or more .. well the little guy got a great fiddle it sounds like. Anyone know anything about them. I know nothing of violins
