This is a violin made by John Summers in 1965. Summers was a wonderful fiddle player based in Indiana. There was an album of his playing recorded by Art Rosenbaum in the '60s for Folkways (a sample: https://folkways.si.edu/john-w-summers/fine-times-at-our-house/old-time/music/track/smithsonian). The fiddle is in near new condition and is set up to play well. There are no cracks or other damage. Others who have owned fiddles that Summers made include Mike Seeger, Allice Gerard, and Rafe Stefanini.

This is a Norwegian Hardangerfele, a fiddle with sympathetic strings used in traditional music of Norway. It's signed Hans Nielsen 1983 on the inside back. It appears to have never been completely finished, as there is no bridge or soundpost, and the end pin hasn't been fit to its hole. This one is made with 9 pegs, so four regular strings and five sympathetic ones which would pass under the fingerboard and through the middle of the bridge.
