Welsh_red 4,655 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Just spoke to my brother about it and confirmed what others have said . He also said it might be worth having it priced as some of them can be worth lots of money . Ones called kotch(not sure on spelling) are worth a few quid 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What ever you do don’t sand it back and varnish it, only to discover it’s a Stradivarius a few years down the line, I’d get it stringed up and have a look on YouTube for some free lessons and give it a go, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
