Labelled Johann Reiter - - Violin - Germany - 1950

Lovely 4/4 Mittenwald violin, built by Johann REITER (1879 - 1959), a scion of the well-known violin-making family in Mittenwald. The violin has undergone several repairs, professionally carried out by a violin maker. Recently a new bridge has been fitted to the violin. The violin is very finely built and the sound is superbly warm and dominant.
