4/4 violin Sebastiano Sacchini Anno 16 - Italy

Label inside the violin reads:

SEBASTIANO SACCHINI DA

PESARO I’ anno 16

————————————————

Accordingly with my search , Sacchini was a pupil of ANTONIO MARIANI in the 16 hundreds. .

MarianI , probably work in PESARO , in the coast of Italy , between 1635 , and 1695 .

Antonio Mariani violins are between the most valuable , selling in the thousands ,(do your own search) . There is one or more in the American Museum of Arts and three or more of his violins in the :

MUSEO DELLA MUSICA in Venice .

There is a video in YouTube.

The violin for sale in this page was made

by Sebastiano Sacchini , pupil of Mariani and the similarity of the Antonio Mariani violins and this one , are amazing.

Sacchini painting or lacquering his violin dark color in the middle of the violin are almost identical of the ones of Antonio Mariani in the museum .

I can not tell similarities in sound of either because one is here for sale and Mariani’s ,, inside the museums, so I have to leave it there for your search and consideration.

NOTE: this violin is in good condition structurally , no separations at the ribs or other places that I can see . It does have a line crack at the top right side shown in one of the photos . I can see professional repairs of the top and back panels, can be seen from photos also , is an antique and has been played .

Included is a new violin case as it was found without a case .
