Artisan Strings Bravura Model 300 4/4 2006 SN:4223

Brand: Artisan Strings

Model: Bravura Model 300

Size: 4/4 Full Size

Year of Manufacture: 2006

Serial Number: 4223

Condition: Poor (Project Grade / Heavy Cosmetic Wear)

Functional Status: Structurally Sound — Needs Restringing / Setup

Up for sale is a 2006 Artisan Strings Bravura Model 300 full-size (4/4) violin. The Bravura Model 300 is traditionally regarded as a well-crafted intermediate student instrument built from solid tonewoods, providing far better resonance and tone than basic factory laminates.

This specific outfit is being sold as a Luthier Special / Project Piece. It shows heavy signs of cosmetic use and handling from a previous life, but the underlying wood remains healthy. If you are a student on a budget willing to put a little love into a setup, a hobbyist luthier looking for a restoration project, or a theater group looking for a structurally real prop, this outfit is an absolute steal.

Materials & Quality Base

• Solid Wood Foundation: Features a carved spruce top plate and maple back/sides, offering a robust acoustic voice once fully set up.
• Traditional Fitting Setup: Complete with an ebony fingerboard, traditional peg box, and matching tailpiece.

Full Condition & Character Disclosure

This outfit is explicitly listed in Poor/Project condition with the following notes:

• Missing String: The violin is currently missing one string and will require a fresh set of strings and a standard bridge-alignment check before it can be tuned to pitch and played.
• Heavily Charactered Finish: The instrument’s body shows a substantial amount of scuffs, scrapes, and surface scratches scattered across the varnish finish from extensive handling.
• Structurally Secure: Crucially, despite the heavy cosmetic wear, there are absolutely no chips, open seams, or cracks that inhibit the actual structural integrity of the instrument. The neck joint is stable, the peg box is solid, and the soundpost remains secure.
• Included Bow & Case: The included hard case and student bow both show age-appropriate cosmetic wear, but both function as intended to safely secure and transport the instrument.

What’s Included

• Artisan Strings Bravura Model 300 Violin (2006)
• Fitted Student Violin Bow
• Hard Shell Violin Storage Case

Reverb Packaging & Shipping Guidelines

• Safe Acoustic Packing: Delicate string instruments require careful handling. To protect the soundpost from collapsing during shipping, the remaining strings will be kept under minimal tension. The violin will be securely nestled inside its hard case with extra padding around the scroll and tailpiece. The case itself will be completely insulated in heavy-duty bubble wrap and suspended tightly within a robust shipping box filled with compression void-fill.
• Tracked Transit: Ships promptly with carrier tracking numbers provided at checkout.
