How can u tell if a violin is real?

The first way to tell if your instrument is old (modern), old (actually old) or fake old, is to look for a neck graft. Old violins (and violas and cellos) have neck grafts because they were crafted in an era when instruments had shorter necks.

What happens if your violin doesn’t have a label?

Sometimes labels are removed to try to increase/decrease the price of an instrument. Sometimes the instrument sustained heat/water damage and the label got lost. On older instruments, sometimes the label just unglues. A label is not an indicative of quality, and most often not even an indicative of provenance.
