How do you find out what make a violin is?

Never on the outside. Very old instruments may have a paper label with the maker's name and date stuck inside, so it can be seen through one of the f-shaped sound holes.Some newer instruments may have a paper label or some information stamped on the wood inside - but many mass-produced instruments may not have any information about the maker inside them at all.However, whether the violin has a label inside it or not, because many fake "old" violins have been made, only a properly qualified expert who knows about violins can advise you about the likely true maker of any particular violin.

Violin in original paper box numbered 100 made in Japan I believe it was my great uncles early 1900s?

If the violin is actually labelled "made in Japan", chances are pretty good that it was not made before 1921 when the law was passed stating that all imported goods had to have their country of origin and the words "made in" printed on them in English. However, if the mark says "made in Nippon", and not "Japan", then it was probably made some time between 1914 and 1921. Before 1914, it was not required to mark the words "made in". From 1891 until then, it was only required to list the country of origin amd there was no stipulation that it had to be marked in English.


When was violin rosin invented?

More than "invented", violin rosin is an adaptation of natural tree pitch, or hardened sap. It is believed that the earliest violin rosins were no more than hardened pitch pulled from trees and utilized as is. That lead to melting the pitch in order to pour it into more convenient shapes, ie cakes. From there in an effort to create better and more consistent rosin, makers began to experiment with additives. For example, the addition of beeswax was found to create a less brittle rosin. The added ingredients in different rosins run the full spectrum from gold flakes to meteorite dust and everything in between and exact ingredients are often closely guarded secrets. In order to produce high volumes of product many modern rosin makers have turned to utilizing a hardened by-product of the paper industry often called Sylvaros rather than fresh tree sap or pitch. Violin rosin is generally based from pine tree sap/colophony, but some rosins include colophony from other kinds of conifer trees.
