Good antique Czech/Bohemian violin

This fin de siecle violin was handmade around 1900 in the region now sometimes called "Musicon Valley," i.e. the Schönbach-Markneukirchen-Klingenthal "Musikwinkel" on the Czech-German border. This instruments is a fine historic piece that was hand-crafted well; its quality and sound place it far beyond compare with other, newer (usually of Chinese origin) instruments in its price range. The transparent yet intense shiny reddish-orange finish and light patina suggest that the violin was well loved. The instrument is in very good undamaged condition and has been professionally adjusted by our luthier - we offer it in ready to play condition. The violin's balanced and orchestral sound is warm, sweet and somewhat mellow.
