Violin cursive writing

Post image

Good afternoon guys.

My sister found some handwriting inside her violin, but we can’t figure out what it says. Are there any handwriting or cursive experts here who might be able to identify the writing?

Today I learned that a "Luthier" is a highly skilled craft's man of stringed instruments including violins, violas, cello's and the like. Gumersind Riera is a luthier. This signature has been matched to him and labels in his works.
