AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Classic master violin by violin maker Franz Wilfer, Nauheim, Germany, 1990. Master craftsman trained in Mittenwald. Instrument with a transparent, high-gloss finish in a warm golden amber tone with reddish nuances. The instrument features superbly executed three-piece purfling and elegantly carved F-holes. The distinctive headstock ends with a deeply carved, sculptural scroll. The instrument is equipped with an elegant boxwood fittings, consisting of hill-shaped volutes with light decorative pins and rings, as well as a color-matched chinrest and tailpiece. The chinrest has been replaced, and both the original and a second chinrest are included. The instrument is well-strung and ready to play. Bow and luxurious case as well as a shoulder rest included. Light scratches on the back (from the shoulder rest) can be easily repaired.


As described, violins and bows labeled as 'certified' or 'accredited' include pictures of their certificates and therefore carry a higher degree of documented assurance regarding maker, origin and age than instruments described only as 'labeled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we make no warranty.
