My blogging friend, Michelle (who happens to be the author of one of my most favorite blogs), found a link that gives a brief biography of the man who made my violin, Johann Michael Willer. There is also a DVD for sale that talks about the different violin makers of Prague and they even play a violin made by J.H. Willer the same year as my violin, which means that the instruments were together in his violin shop all those years ago. Fascinating. I think I might have to buy the DVD....
Go take a peek at the website, and scroll down to the second violin maker listed:

Thanks Michelle!
