I'm a bit curious about this violin, I like the human head scroll.
Thoughts on it's origin? According to the seller it's Austrian, but I don't see much Austrian in this fiddle. The seller has a whole story about it, saying that a descendent of the Klotz family played on it and that it was made around 1883 to celebrate the 25th birthday of queen Emma... a lovely story but is it plausible or busted?
