Interesting antique Czech/Bohemian violin

A very interesting antique violin, handmade in Bohemia in the late 19th century. The originally dark red varnish over bright golden red ground darkened throughout the years, especially on the top and at the edges. These results of the natural aging process emphasize the antique status of the instrument. Due to its individual character the violin sets itself apart from ordinary standard instruments. The filigrane scroll with its rounded edges is neatly carved. As remarkable as the violin's appearance is its sound quality. Full of character, dark and clear, matured and with wonderful resonance. This unique specimen full of character suites especially well for individualists and players with special aesthetic demands.
