What model is this E.H. Roth violin?
I am looking at violin that I really like but I would like to know the model
number.
Below is what the inside labels say?
Could you identify the model number for me?
Thanks

The label reads as follows:

ERNST HEINRICH ROTH
Bubenreuth/Erlangen
anno 1998
Germany

Above the label there is a stamp:

Ernst Heinrich Roth
Bubenreuth
Erlangen>

Next to the stamp is a number:
F7 0576

Roth in Bubenreuth is a very large violin factory which makes
thousands of violin in all price ranges. It would be almost
impossible to tell the model from the information given.

Bubenreuth, along with Mittenwald and Markneukirken to name a few, are
the "Detroits" of the violin making industry. No one individual would
have made this violin in 1998.

There was an Ernst Heinrich Roth at one time who made individual
violins and is a respected violin maker, but he is long dead. The
present day firm is named for him [he may have started it]

One of my first violins when I was a kid was from the Roth factory.

Suggest you take this violin to a reputable luthier or dealer for a
further evaluation.

Jon Teske, violinist
