AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This exceptional antique violin, labeled “Jacobus Stainer in Absam, 1684,” reflects the style of the renowned 17th-century luthier Jacob Stainer, whose instruments were prized for their rich, warm tone and superior craftsmanship.
The instrument features a beautifully flamed maple back in two pieces of wood with striking grain patterns and a finely carved spruce top, showcasing elegant curves and expert workmanship. Despite its age, the violin is in remarkable condition with expected wear from age. There is one small crack on the back, but it’s hardly noticeable and should not impact the sound significantly.
The violin anyway needs a check by a luthier, do not know if the sound post is in the right position.
A rare and valuable collector’s piece, this violin combines historical significance, stunning aesthetics, and investment potential.
- Violin lenght = 52 cm
- Body lenght = 31 cm
- Width of the upper part = 14,5 cm
- Width of the middle part = 9 cm
- Width of the lower part = 18 cm
The violin comes with its original vintage hard case, lined with aged, providing both protection and historical authenticity.
