Otto Ernst Fischer - Stradivari Master Art Violin - OF700 - Great Value!

This fine violin is worth over $1000.

This model was sold 15 years ago by Shar Music. They don't carry this model any more, but their website does have a couple of pages that show the value of this model:

OF500 - $1200 (www{DOT}sharmusic{DOT}com/shop.axd/ProductDetails?edp_no=17780)
OF900 - $1600 (Trade-in used price: $980) (www{DOT}sharmusic{DOT}com/Instruments/Clearance/Trade-In-Otto-Ernst-Fischer-174-Guarneri-Master-Art-Violin---4-4-size.axd)

My violin is model OF700, so it could be expected to be between the two listed here. That would put it at a retail value of around $1400. I spoke with a Shar representative that confirmed my asking price as very fair.

This instrument has been fully set up. Many parts of this instrument are brand new:

* New fingerboard and nut (professionally installed)
* New soundpost (professionally installed)
* New tailpiece
* New chinrest
* New tuning pegs
* New bridge
* New Pirastro Tonica strings.

No need to worry about having to spend any more money on this instrument to get it ready to play.

My daughter is majoring in violin at college. When she played this violin, it compared very nicely with her current instrument which is definitely professional grade. This instrument will work well for the college major or professional player.

This violin does not come with a bow, but I can include a wood bow for an additional $100.

Shoulder rest and stand not included.
