Antique German violin dating back to the 18th century, this instrument is in a remarkable state of preservation for its advanced age. Features a beautifully natural patina that comes about from centuries worth of constant playing, with a striking deep amber varnish on a golden ground. It is extremely responsive and effortless to play throughout all registers, and possesses a wonderfully dark, round and powerful sound that transitions to a sparkling brilliance all the way up the fingerboard.
