Bears the label:

Interesting instrument from the bench of Christian Pedersen, a maker based in Albuquerque, NM. It is sized slightly under a 3/4 standard size fractional violin. The orange/brown varnish is tastefully shaded to produce the look of an older violin, and both the top and back plates have fleurs-de-lis stamped at the corners. Pins are also visible at the top and bottom of the back plate.
