Brilliant Czech Schönbach violin by W. Hoyer (sold)

The instrument is a good Schönbach violin made in the 1960ies. The violin is a beautiful work by W. Hoyer. The W. Hoyer brandstamp is located on the button. The workmanship is accurate, the violin being made in the typical Schönbach tradition. The bright golden brown varnish is highly transparent. The violin undamaged, crackfree and in immediate playing condition. It has been set up by our luthier with a new bridge, soundpost and strings and is in full playing condition. Its bright sound is clear and strong, sweetish in the higher ranges with remarkable resonance. Special recommendation!
