Here is a German made copy of a Giovan Paolo Maggini violin, full-sized, and dating from the late 19th - early 20th Century. It is in Excellent condition, with a gorgeous, Highly Curled Striped Maple Back Plate, Ribs and Neck. There are no cracks, no splits and no open seams. A prior, partial center seam separation of the top (beneath the tailpiece), has been professionally cleated and glued, and is completely stable. It comes with a L. Bausch, round stick Bow, straight and recently rehaired.
The strings are new, the Ebony Fingerboard clean and smooth, the tailpiece features four fine tuners, the pegs are snug and hold a tuning well, and the finish is lovely and classic with a truly striking back. This is a beautiful instrument.
The sound of this violin can best be described as bright and well balanced, with a strong projection

This is a very fine example of a German Trade Violin from the late 19th - early 20th Century, in excellent condition, set up and ready to play. Please note: while the Vibration length (scale length) of this instrument is absolutely consistent with that of other 4/4 violins, the Corpus (body length) is slightly longer than usual. This instrument will tend to feel more comfortable in the hands of a taller player.
Please check the photographs carefully as I have tried to capture this instrument in detail and from all angles. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.
