!!! FAKE INSTRUMENTS !!! We decided to make this
web page to inform people regarding several cases
of fake Villa instruments that appear from time to
time on the internet.
We always get upset when we discover one. However, as our clients say, if someone in the world makes fake Villa violins, it means they are actually greatly appreciated and highly valued in the world. Please, if you come
across a violin with our label inside, DO NOT
hesitate to contact us to verify
the authenticity!
Every violin we sell has
its own certificate of authenticity signed by us.
In the certificate there are always a set of
photos also signed by us. If you don't have the
original certificate, we are still able to check
the authenticity because we keep records of every
violin in our archives.
