Authentic violins from this specific year are highly prized historical rarities Authentic 1808 models typically bear a printed inside label reading: “Franciscus Geissenhof fecit. Viennæ Anno 1808” and are also famously recognizable by a distinct \"FG\" brand mark stamped directly onto the button of the back. This instrument is lacking the \"FG\" brand, and is therefore most probably a copy. Recently repaired -- \u003cspan\u003ea button graft and neck re-gluing with projection correction -- this violin has a lush sound that projects well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFully insured shipping within the continental US is $150 via UPS, for all other locations please inquire.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Musical Traditions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41533629399098,"sku":"261901VIE","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/8813\/files\/IMG_9765_44de3bb9-351e-46f8-90b8-2f8928a5c7a5.jpg?v=1784241510","url":"https:\/\/hmtrad.com\/products\/franz-geissenhof-4-4-violin-1808-copy-used","provider":"House of Musical Traditions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
