Schuster & Co. violin - "Kroneninstrument"

The golden label inside the violin indicates this model as "crown instrument" from the Saxonian Instruments Manufactory Schuster & Co. in Markneukirchen. Only master made instruments of highest quality and the most exact craftsmanship received this eminently respectable appellation. With its intensely colored red varnish and the perfectly inlayed purfling the violin has an almost aristocratic character. The scroll is carved with much attention to the detail. The violin is perfectly preserved and in excellent condition. Its tone matches the predicate "crown instrument": bright, crystal, differentiated, matured and well-balanced over the strings. This violin will easily suffice even the highest demands of the ambitioned musician.
