1902 guarneri style Violin with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard.

Before and after I had it fixed up a little

I was gifted this Violin from a customer of mine for my daughter to grow into, I'll be playing it in the meantime. It was his grandmother's. It's made by Francois Barzoni (not a person) in france and sold in london. I had the violin shop check it out and they said it was a Guarneri style violin where the two diagonal quadrants of the violin are tuned the same and the other two tuned the same with each other but different than the other one in an X pattern (sorry i don't know how to describe this😅) It's been so long since it was played that it still had Gut strings on it that were too far gone to play but still cool. Curious if anyone has any other info or any other thoughts. It plays beautifully and has a very rich sound for its age.
