T his beautiful violin shows actual and former repairs, but no open cracks or open seams. The table is finely grained spruce and the 1-piece back, as well as ribs and neck, is nicely flamed maple. The instrument has been carefully repaired (see detailed photos below) in our associated workshop by Joana Bruno (pukkaviolins. Com) and checked by our violin player on playability. It received a new setup with newly fitted elder ebony pegs, ebony tailpiece & ebony chinrest, a new Teller bridge, new soundpost and new strings. These are new German silver wound steel core strings with good projection, easy to play while allowing rapid finger 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.
