1850 Neuner & Hornsteiner workshop violin (Bavarian Mittenwald) Professionally Restored & Setup
This is an exceptional example of a late 19th-century German workshop violin, originating from the esteemed Mittenwald region, circa 1850. Built during a time when the Mittenwald tradition was at its peak, this instrument represents the quintessential Bavarian craftsmanship that predates the later, mass-produced factory era. The violin features a high-grade spruce top and maple back, finished in a rich, authentic period varnish that has been meticulously revived.
The instrument features a genuine ebony fingerboard, a detail consistent with professional-grade instruments of this age and pedigree. It has recently undergone a comprehensive, high-level restoration performed by master luthier "Gio" John V. Importuno. Every aspect of the setup was handled with the utmost respect for the instrument's historical integrity while optimizing it for modern performance.
