I bought this violin a number of years ago and it was just ok. Then I had an area luthier completely redo it. He regraded the top, redid the bass bar, refit the pegs, refitted the bridge, and made it sound fantastic. I am only selling it because I have 2 other violins, one a custom design, the other a family heirloom, so this one is the odd one out. quality of tone/ overall sound is fairly equal among the 3.
Carved in the back of the scroll is " conservatory Violin".(see picture) the inside label is illegible, but the luther opined that it is probably a German made , Strad style violin from the early 20th century or older. The body of the instrument has been "distressed" by the original builder, according to an area luthier, to make it look aged. It does. Perlon strings. Ebony fingerboard and chin rest. Rosewood pegs.
I am including a worn but very serviceable oblong hardshell plywood case with brown canvas cover. also included is a serviceable horsehair bow.
