corilon violins

Attractive antique 19th century German violin

This antique violin is an extraordinary beautiful instrument that was handcrafted in Markneukirchen around the year 1870, featuring an amazingly good sound and excellent playing qualities: a well balanced tone, an immediate response, a sound of brightness and strength, with warmth and carrying power. The unique optical appearance of the violin is no less attractive. The well shaped body is is made of premium quality tonewoods and is thoroughly crafted. The grained top and the broadly flamed back are covered with an intensily colored dark red varnish. Small traces of use and age create an individual charme. The general condition of the instrument is excellent. The violin is undamaged and has been worked over by our luthier, equipped with new strings, a new bridge and a new soundpost. The violin is ready to play andx suitable for orchestral use.
