I have an antique violin that my grandmother gave me when I was 12. The stamp inside says 'E.R. _Frebschner' with a cursive letter I can't identify, followed by 'Germany, 1950, handmade copy of Antonius Stradivarius'. The case has some damage, and I'm unsure if the bow is original. The violin needs a string replacement, and there are practice tape guide lines on it that can be removed without damaging the instrument. Can you provide any information or an appraisal on this violin?
