Antique Full Size 4/4 Violin, Labeled AMATI, Needs Restoration

  
This violin has a Amati stamp below the back button. Even though there isn't a written label inside, many things about the instrument resemble an Amati... The scroll, and the shape of the body. The violin doesn't have corner blocks or linings on the upper bouts. The violin is strong; there don't seem to be any cracks. The bass bar is very small, and should be replaced. The varnish is strange; it seems more like just a red stain than a real varnish.
