FRIEDHELM SHUMMAN VIOLIN???

Tuesday, April 23, 2013

I OCCASIONED TO MEET A PERSON THIS EVENING WHO HAS A FREIDHELM SCHUMANNN VIOLIN.  IT  IS A BEAUTIFUL INSTRUEMENT.  THE TAIL PIECE APPEARS TO BE ROSEWOOD, AND THE TUNING PEGS ARE MADE OUT OF THE SAME TYPE OF WOOD,,AS  IS THE CHINREST.  I ENTERED THE NAME IN GOOGLE AND GOT NO CONNECTIONS. JUST WONDERING IF THIS  IS A GOOD PIECE OR NOT?`  IT NEEDS TO BE RESTRUNG, AS ALL OF THE STRINGS HAVE  BEEN CUT IN TWO, AS WELL AS THE BOW HAIR.SOME ONE MUST HAVE BEEN ANGRY???  THE LABEL INSIDE SAYS  FREIDHELM SHUMANN, HAND MADE GERMANY.  I AM GOING TO RESTRING IT  FOR THE OWNER, HE KNOWS  NOTHING A ABOUT A VIOLIN, JUST WANTS IT TO BE PLAYABLE.. DOES ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA , IS THIS  AN EXPENSIVE VIOLIN  , OR JUST A  RUN OF THE MILL CHEAP ONE???AT THIS TIME HE IS NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING.. THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN SHED SOME LIGHT....   CARL

I HAVE BEEN A TRUCK DRIVER FOR WAL MART FOR 17 YEARS, AND RETIRED 4 YEARS AGO,. i HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH THE FIDDLE FOR 25 YEARS ,BUT UNTIL I RETIRED I WAS NOT ABLE TO LEARN A LOT. I PLAY TOTALLY BY EAR, AND HAVE HAD A HARD TIME MASTERING SOME OF THE DIFFERENT KEYS, BUT IN THE PAST YEAR EVERY THING IS COMING TOGETHER. ONE OF THE HNIDERANCES I HAVE RUN INTO, IS THE SORT OF UNWILLINGNESS OF THE GOOD , OLD PLAYERS TO HELP A BEGINNER, SO I REALLY TRY TO SHOW OTHERS WHAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT, IT HELPS ME AND HELPS THEM. ONE OF MY ADVANTAGES IS THAT I HAVE A REALLY GOOD REPITOIR OF ROCK AND ROLL , OLD COUNTRYAND BLUE GRASS, SO IS USUALLY VERY EASY FOR ME TO PICK UP ON SONGS
