Quick notes:
1 — This is consigned.
2 — Any repair work has been done so it plays spot-on unless otherwise noted!
3 — I usually ship in 2-3 days but sometimes can get backed-up if a lot of orders come in at once. I like to make sure I have time to check the setup, restring if the strings are tired, and make any adjustments needed before shipping. If you need faster shipping, please make me aware!
4 — Please read the following text for full details and specs -- it's borrowed from my original blog post on it...
This is a nice, clear-sounding violin with just a touch of huskiness when played with double-stops. It's German-made, probably from the 1910s-1920s, and has a Bruno (retailer house) label inside telling us it's a Strad-style copy.
It has attractive figure in the maple throughout the back and ribs, an ebony fingerboard and good fittings, a tightly-grained spruce top, and a relaxed, comfortable look about it. My guy Andy has just gone through it and it's in good order, playing nicely, and ready to go.
It shows some mild wear throughout but overall it looks ship-shape and trim.
Repairs included: fingerboard leveling, minor seam repairs, bridge and soundpost fitting, cleaning, adjustments, and setup.

Condition notes: it has a more modern tailpiece with integrated fine tuners and replacement bridge, but the rest of the fittings appear original. It's also crack-free save an old fill/repair to the center seam on the back/lower bout area. There's mild scratching/usewear throughout but overall it looks nice.
It comes with: an inexpensive but functional case.
