Really cool old violin made be GA Pfretzschner around the turn of the century. Very well made instrument, gorgeous wood and patina. There are lots of scuffs and finish spots on the top, but no cracks. Faux scroll graft. treble side top corners are slightly chipped. theres an old piece of scotch tape on the back. Other than that, no issues.
It is set up with ebony Guarneri chinrest, Wittner Ultra tailpiece, Teller 3 star bridge, and fresh Helicore strings. Pegs hold well.
Has a pleasant old mature tone. I believe that a new soundpost or post adjustment could make this fiddle really shine. Unfortunately, I don’t have the time or means to make that happen, so I’m selling it as it is now. Below is a basic sound sample to get an idea of the tone.
It will ship in an old beater case well packed.
Thanks for looking!
