Hi Aiden,
Nice to hear from another one of Carlisle's happy customers. Mine is #1097, made in
Cincinnati in 1940. The label is paper with a blue single line border, and other than the
border is totally hand written. I reads;
James Reynold Carlisle
no. 1097
Cincinnati, Nov. 1940
It also has a thumbprint on the right edge of the label.
I LOVE my violin. It is on the petite side (slightly short, and the neck is on the
slender side). It is golden; back wood is gorgeous. When I bought it, I was told by the
seller that it had been made for the concertmaster of the Cincinnati Symphony who played
the Taft Strad. I am not sure the story is true, but after I bought the violin and told
my mother-in-law the story, she told me that her father had been friends with that
concertmaster for a very long time, and that he had been a frequent guest in their home
when she was a child! Weird. I bought the violin in Florida. I like to tell people that
I didn't find IT, IT found ME!
What is yours like? Is yours thumbprinted?
