how old is my violin?
I have an old violin thats been in my family for awhile i presume and I was thinking of getting it repaired, on the label it says KisoSuzukiViolinCo.,ltd Copy of AntoniusStradivarus1720 made in Japan anno 1970 but on it by the anno it has 196 printed on the label and in ink someone wrote a 7 over the 6 and then a 0 so it looks like it says 1970, im guessing maybe a late 1969 early 1970 ? and do violins really sound better over time as the wood ages? i also have an old violin made in Germany 30+

Figure it to be 1970, one year before or after or even a decade either way is irrelevant for a Kiso Suzuki violin. And no, a Kiso won't csound better with age. A violin has to be of decent quality first before it can improve with age and a Kiso is just too low a quality to improve with age.
