Nice antique Europeanviolins like this are definitelybecoming
more and more difficult to acquire on . And they are rarely
sold in a genuine sale format (without a reserve and with a low
starting offer). Antique violinsare highly sought after by advanced
players, professionalviolinists, violin teachers and private collectors.
I believe this violin belongs in the hands of an advanced
violinist or a collector of handmade instruments. This
is a special instrument with powerful sound that is
suitable for a soloist, a concertmaster,
or a strong ensemble player.
CONDITION:This is an old violin in nice, vintage condition. Thereare
nosound post cracks, no cracks at all...and no open seams.
This violinis going on 100 yearsold and shows signs of being
played and enjoyed...and it has the usualdings, scratches,
patterns ofwear to the varnish that you want tosee in a real
antique instrument.I\'ve includedquite afew closeupphotos

alwaysrecommend with anantique instrument that you have
itfreshlysetup as an antique instrument is a \"living, breathing\"
workofartthat needs regular maintenance. The same is also
trueof a new instrument, but an old violin will sound better.There is no bow orcase included in the sale,
but I will ship it in an old worn case for protection. I
suggestthat a violin like this deserves a new case.This violin is being offered here at sale. I start all my
