Splendid Franz Kirschnek Violin 4/4 (1981) – Cremonese Luthery Certificate, Mature and Warm Tone

If you are looking for a warm sound, rich in harmonics and excellent playability, this instrument represents a rare opportunity.
Magnificent 4/4 violin, entirely handmade in 1981 by the renowned Franz Kirschnek workshop in Bräuningshof (formerly West Germany).

The Sound and Soul of the Instrument
With over forty years of natural aging and vibration, the wood has reached exceptional acoustic maturity. The timbre is deep, rounded, and powerful, typical of the best Central European tradition, capable of responding dynamically to both the softest nuances and the most energetic passages.
Having belonged to and been used by a professional musician, the instrument has always been cared for and maintained to its fullest potential. It is the ideal choice for advanced conservatory students, professionals seeking a reliable second instrument, or demanding amateurs.

Materials and Luthier Details
Top plate: First-choice red spruce with excellent resonance qualities.
Back, ribs, and scroll: Maple chosen for a striking and dense natural figure.
Varnish: Alcohol-based, with a warm and luminous amber-orange hue that enhances the wood’s figure.
Construction: Built on an internal form according to the classical German school method (body length: 36 cm | scale length: 19.5 cm).
Authenticity Guaranteed 100%

Unlike many vintage instruments on the market, this violin comes with its original Certificate of Authenticity drawn up and signed by luthier Augusta Di Leonardo (Cremona workshop).
The document unequivocally certifies provenance, measurements, materials, and the manual craftsmanship.

Condition
The instrument is in perfect structural condition: no cracks, fissures, or repairs to the soundpost or to the neck.
