Yeah. Mine (well, my mom's) has a label claiming it was made by Giovan Paolo
Magginni (sp?) in 1637, but since he actually labeled his instruments, he's
also one of the most forged makers. But then, apparently the bulk of the
fakes were made in the early 1700s when his work was popular, so it's not
like it's brand new, either. I know its history back almost 200 years; hard
to say how old it really is.

Somehow, being sat on by my brother 40 years ago and crushed to splinters,
then rebuilt by my father, seems to have affected its tone somewhat.
