Does anyone know anything about the Jackson-Guldan Violin Co. from Columbus,
Ohio.

All that I can tell you is that the Jackson Guldan Violin company sold
violins from the very crudest beginners models to their top of the line "The
Guldan" which rivals any of the better German instruments that I have ever
seen. I have a "Guldan Model" that must have been made during the final
years of the company..it lacks the beauty and finish of the earlier violin
that I used to own and foolishly sold it....Most of the Jackson Guldan
violins that I have seen and heard have very nice tone..keep an eye out on
Ebay, because there are always one for sell and usually can be had for a
real bargain...george

I'd like to know, too. I have been told I have one of their '30's fiddles.

If memory serves me, 1923 to 1964. As another responder indicated,
they usually sound very nice. The necks also come loose or are set at
a low angle on most. I think the pre-WWII top wood may have been red
spruce. The modeling is very flat. Some of the best fiddles I've set
up were JGVs with reset necks to get the angles right. The early ones
with 1 piece backs are typically wonderful. I'll have to keep one for
myself eventually!
