Description from the seller

1/2 size antique violin – early 1900s – Flamed maple back – Case and bow

Interesting 1/2-size violin dating from the early decades of the 20th century, built according to traditional luthier construction and characterized by woods with notable charm.

Particularly beautiful is the back in maple with splendid figure, evident and luminous, which gives the instrument great visual depth and changes noticeably in appearance depending on the incidence of light. The top plate shows a warm amber-brown varnish, with natural patina and the marks left by time and use.

The violin preserves an authentic and very pleasant appearance, with an elegant carved scroll, dark fingerboard and tailpiece.

Dimensions: overall length about 51.5 cm; maximum width about 18 cm.
Weight: about 320 g.
Format: 1/2.

The instrument has been tested and offers a very pleasant sound, with tonal qualities especially appreciated even by those who have had the opportunity to play it. Equipped with new strings.

Complete with bow in good condition, ready to use, and with its vintage hard case, which shows normal signs of wear. The central latch with key of the case is not functioning.

There are signs, scratches and superficial wear consistent with the age of the instrument, well documented in the photographs and that do not compromise its overall charm.

An interesting antique musical instrument, suitable both for use and for collection, enriched especially by the beautiful figured maple of the back.
