Selling a handmade Tim Phillips 5 String Violin.
Asking $4125 plus shipping.
Beautiful deep sound especially on the lower strings.
Larger body design helps to create the deep sound as well as rounded corners
which emphasize the bass.
Neck and fingerboard larger than a normal 4 string violin to enable close to standard 4-string spacing.
This violin comes with a bridge mounted pickup installed by the maker from
Skyinbow that comes with an embedded preamp in the chinrest.
The pickup/preamp is charged using a 9V battery which then runs for hours
and the preamp is preset to slightly reduce the higher frequencies to improve the sound.
There is a minor scuff on the varnish where the bow has rubbed
as can be seen on the photos. Otherwise in excellent condition.
If you look at Tim's website you can see many of the well known musicians
who play his fiddles.
