warm tone of this violin with you.This violin is the kind of
sound that we,as violinists, searchfor but rarely find.The
finish is not as sophisticatedas a European instrument,
butthis violin producesa testament to the violin-maker!I believe this violin belongs in the hands of professional
or advanced violinist ~ Fiddle...or a serious collector who
wants to add a nice American instrument to their collection.

This violin is in nice, vintage condition. Its about 55 years old and
shows just the minor signs of wear from a half a century of play.
There are no sound post cracks, no cracks or splits to the scroll
or neck, and no open seams. No cracks or repairs at all. It has
only the minor dings, scratches and wear to the varnish that you\'d
expectin a violin from this era. The finish is not as sophisticated
as a European instrument, but this violin producesa wonderfully
rich,powerful, clear sound...a testament to the violin-maker!Like any vintage violinitmight benefit from a fresh
set of strings; and a setup, etc.to your taste. Its
reallygorgeous with a beautiful sound.

Handmade violins from this period of fine violinmaking are

Violin .This is an estate item are being sold without a reserve
