To the musically knowledgeable:

I'm getting ready to list a bunch of old violins on eBay. Near as I can tell none of them are in complete working order, but all of them could be made so with some parts and TLC; my sister collected these years ago with the idea of fixing them up. Or you could just polyurethane the carpe diem out of them and hang 'em on the wall in one of those retro theme restaurants (like Cracker Barrel).

Any ideas about what sort of value to assign to them?

Anybody want first crack at 'em?

I'd love one if'n the price is right. We've got a handmade hammer dulcimer, an antique banjo and some sheet music from when my dad was in the army in the late 40s. A nice lookin' violin would fit right in.

Or, if they're playable, wife wants to take Suziki violin lessons with Luke.
