The table is medium to fine grained spruce and the 1-piece back is nicely flamed maple. Like always the instrument has been completely checked by our luthiers and by our violin player on playability. In our workshop it received a new bassbar, new ebony pegs, new ebony tailpiece, new ebony chinrest, a new bridge, new soundpost and new strings.
