I have a violin that my wife bought at an auction (fair condition). On the back of the neck, there is an imprint of the name PAGANINI.
I would like to be more informed as to the authenticity of this instrument before I enter a dealership to ascertain an opinion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I would get in contact with these people:

They have the history of all things Paganini..
Hopefully this helps…
An excellent resource for your violin lessons need.
