Hello, Just looking for any information about violin. It is very small 18 1/2" total length. 11", 2pc back. It has a label inside that reads John Juzek Violinmaker in Prague Made in Czechoslovakia. I am wondering how old it is and what it might be worth. Thanks

Hey, I have a little info about it.. The Juzek factory up and moved from Prague to Germany, now many years ago, supposedly bringing their violin wood with them. A Juzek from Prague is often thought to be better than a German one. The up-scale models like the Master Art are more likely to be decent. I owned a German Master Art for a long time, and learn free piano lessons, I love these piano lessons! view old sheet music with new eyes and new ideas for exciting piano playing!
