Vintage, old violin, First National Institute of Violin, Strad Copy, Made in German
This is a pre-WW2 violin built in a robust structure, student level in that time.
There are over 20 HR photos for your appreciation.
The violin has a very fine spruce grain in the top plate and a flamed maple in the back.
The violin is lined and blocked, with no cracks, very solid and stable.
A few scratches in the back, minor dings in the volute and missing a minor portion of wood in the right side top edges, check pics for details.
Sounds excellent, loud, balanced in all the registers.
Resonant lower registers, suitable to all level of players yet sing like a bird in the higher registers, mellow and sweet all at the same time.
The violin has a stamp that says: First National Institute of Violin.
The label inside says:
COPY
Antonius Stradiuarius
Cremonensis
Faciebat Anno 17
