Unmarked 1920s German-Made "Red" 4/4 Violin (VIDEO! Fresh Work, Ready)

Quick notes: 

1 — This is instrument is consigned.

2 — It’s all done up and it's ready to go 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...

Tone: It's got a clean, balanced sound with a midsy cut to it and pretty decent volume. Note separation is good.

Feel: It's about "medium down the road" as far as neck heft and feel, though the front-to-back dimensions are a little thinner than average so it feels faster to play. The nut is bog-standard 7/8" width.

Interesting features: For an older instrument, it's relatively clean and has nice, light figuring throughout the maple on the back, sides, and neck. The fingerboard appears to be actual ebony, which is rarer than the ebonized maple one usually sees on "import trade" fiddles from the time. It has no markings but is more than likely German-made for the export market. The light cherry-sunburst look of the finish gives it a rich appearance.

Repairs included: seam repairs, a new bridge and bridge fitting, replacement tailpiece and chinrest, soundpost fitting and adjustments, center seam repair, cleaning, and setup work.

Condition notes: There's finish wear via light scratches, scuffs, and whatnot to the headstock, corners and edges, and in the middle of the back. Overall it looks nice but there is definitely some wear and tear. The tailpiece, bridge, soundpost, and chinrest are all non-original. The pegs are probably replacements.

It comes with: It has an old hard case.
