Description from the seller
On offer is an old fine full sized master violin, made and labeled: "Max Schmelz, Passau 1961". The instrument is ready to play with no cracks, finest boxwood set up and new strings. The tone is powerful, sweet, rich, clear as a bell and focused with many colors to work with. It is responsive and even in all ranges. The violin has one piece back made from beautiful narrow flamed maple with matched sides, neck and scroll; the table is likewise matching of high quality, straight high grained spruce. The purfling has been painstakingly inlaid front and back. Original golden amber varnish remains in excellent condition.
The whole length of the violin is 59,4 cm and the back 35,4 cm.
The width of the upper bouts: 16,6 cm; middle bouts: 11,5 cm; lower bouts: 20,8 cm.
Any questions I will endeavor to answer in a polite timely manner.
