It is but are you sure 1754 that's very old how did she obtain it ?

If you're implying that you have a 1754 G.B. Guadagnini violin, I'll be happy to buy it from you immediately. If it is a complete violin and it still plays, how much do you want for it?

Dear Paula,

Please consider posting this question in the music area.

There, one would hope, you will discover more about your violin. Please do not let your friend sell that instrument!

You have guessed it was crafted in Italy. Want to try again?
You must take this to a luthier and have it appraised. Look under "violin" in the Yellow Pages.
