Fine antique German violin from Markneukirchen, c.1830/1840

This fine, c.1830/1840 Markneukirchen violin from Saxony has a sound of outstanding beauty and is an excellent instrument for demanding musicians. This fine violin survived two world wars in Germany: meaningful patina and traces of use indicate its long history - and is a beautifully preserved example for the violin making tradition in Saxony, where many fine stringed instruments with convincing aesthetic and musical qualities were built. The skilled maker crafted the top of fine to medium grained spruce and chose beautiful deeply flamed maple for the two piece back. The highly transparent, shining golden-brown colored varnish is an exceptionally successful work. Precise and experienced craftsmanship is demonstrated by the scroll and the fine purfling, that was crafted with utmost care near to the edge. Our luthiers spent time and effort to work over this fine antique violin, that is crackfree and like all Corilon instruments and bows offered in premium condition, ready to play and to unfold its warm, mature, mellow sound, a clear voice that combimes mellowness and sweetness and is rich in overtones. Includes Corilon's trade-in option and an optional certificate of appraisal.
