Nicely crafted violin, with masterly and widely crafted scroll with the Maggini extra twist and accurately double inlaid purfling on front and back. This beautiful masterpiece shows the typical signs of age and some marks in it´s old amber varnish, but no open cracks or open seams. The table is finely grained spruce and the 2-piece back - like ribs and neck - is intensely flamed maple, fingerboard is ebony. The violin was completely revised and repaired in our workshop (see detailed XXL photo) and received new setup with new ebony pegs, new ebony tailpiece, new ebony chinrest, a new bridge, new soundpost and new strings. These are new German silver wound steel core strings with good projection, easy to play while allowing rapid performance.
We use these strings on mostly all of our violins to provide a comparison of the tonal qualities of each instrument in the videos. In any case a new owner should consider higher quality strings of own personal preference to enhance the full character of this violin! Beautiful antique instrument in immediate playing condition! Great warm and mature sound - Please see the video & listen to the sound on youtube!
