I'd have thought the Police might be who to ask on that one. You know having
led a sheltered life, I have never heard of a fretted Violin.

The bottom one has a label inside, says 1939 copy
of Savart's Trapezoid (orig. made in 1820).
The top one looks like an experimental fantasy.

It's a practice violin: no sounding board, so quiet.

It's the middle one that looks like a real antique,
but the neck looks more like a guitar until you get
to the head.

Fretted violins are not particularly rare, but that one does
look odd.

I wonder whether they are all part of a theft, dumped because
they would be too hard to sell?
