Keep this thread updated after your discussion with the shop. Interesting story. And if you can easily afford it and your daughter has genuine talent and interest - and more importantly is responsible enough to care for it properly - by all means buy it for her. You can always sell it later if you don’t overpay. Ignore the haters. The OT tends to get jealous whenever people who can afford nice things buy nice things.

My daughter had a jam session this afternoon and her instructor was able to play and listen to both the violins we have on trial. She was blown away by the one I didn’t mention in this thread (a 1903 F. Lincoln Johnson) that is a paltry $2700. The Derazey was too risky for her taste with multiple repairs and no makers mark. We didn’t get into my theories on it’s origin. My daughter is was very happy with both violins and now favors the cheaper violin because her instructor was so emphatic.
I still want to have the counterfeit conversation when I bring the violin back to the shop to see what they say.
