A beautiful early 19th-century Italian full-size violin, ideal for a professional musician or collector.
The violin bears the label: Jo Baptista Ceruti Cremonensis fecit Cremonae An. 1813.
The instrument is in good overall condition, showing some tears but no cracks. It features an elegant model with a beautiful natural amber patina, exceptionally fine-quality tonewoods, and carefully executed details throughout.
The top is crafted from straight, high-grained spruce, complemented by a stunning golden-amber varnish. The purfling is neatly inlaid on both the top and back, adding to the instrument's refined appearance. The attractive two-piece maple back displays strong, beautiful flaming.
This tonally fascinating Italian violin is ready to play and comes highly recommended for its powerful, warm, and sweet sound, full of authentic Italian character.
