This is an excellent fiddle. I bought this instrument in 2005 from a well established violin dealer in Atlanta, GA and he was very sad to part with it. I played it consistently for one year then slowly stopped practicing once life took over. The sound projects strongly with a rich undertone making it a great violin for advanced players who want depth in each note. It's very well constructed with aged spruce on top and a highly flamed maple back. Golden brown varnish with slight shading. Very minor, small scratches on surface that can be easily fixed. It is missing a G string, but that can be remedied before sending it off if the buyer chooses. The fiddle comes with a extremely protective, silk interior case and one Coda Aspire bow (black). The bow is strong, responsive and offers players a powerful, yet focused sound. I began playing this fiddle as an advanced student and was blown away with how my sound improved.
