I purchased this cool looking violin at a second hand. I might of over paid for it , $155.00, or might not have. Because ultimately I like it. I can not play a violin yet.
I don't know much about them either. I am hoping someone can help with a curiosity or two. If it was not home made, that's a possible DIY from the east. They make a fair bit of guitars and violins and cello's out in eastern Canada. Its modelled after the Stativarious. Its missing the bridge, and obviously needs new strings. Could use a cleaning, with some kind of rosin loosening agent in it.
After that, Is it advisable to use paste polishing wax on the outer body area only*?
It struck me in the right kind of emo moment then I wanted to have it that's all I know. And that its held together through a lot of time. The case shows age in the use wear, and the way its designed says old.. Its curious where its from and its age, and whatever else might be of interest.
I was not able to find any names yet, inside or out. The bow, its there, without hair, the bow is hairless and will need some.
I'll include the main body with more detail.
If its not worth crazy dollars I am ok with that. That had no bearing on my decision to buy it. Although lots and lots of money does seem nice.

I bought one at a yard sale down the road for $40. Was complete with extra strings, rosins - said their grandpa used to play it. I got it tuned up, somehow losing the sound post. Took it to a shop to get it set again, noticed they didnt dare tune it up.
Second try in my life to play one of these things, only getting a recognizable Charlie Daniel fiddle riff once out of one, otherwise never quite getting out of dying animal sounds level. Guitars work better for me.
