3/4 - older German violin, prob. Meinel & Herold

An older german 3/4 violin made in the 1940's, very likely by the renowned Meinel & Herold saxon manufacture in Markneukirchen/Klingenthal. The model is after Antonius Stradivarius. The top is made of medium to wide grained spruce, the back is a mildly flamed two piece back. The varnish is of a bright golden-yellow color and very intense. It is in good condition. The violin is set up and in immediate playing condition. The bridge is by Joachim Roy, Mittenwald. There is a minor repaired saddle crack on top, the violin is otherwise in good condition and crackfree. The bright clear sound is suitable for orchestra playing.
