Description from the seller

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

If you are looking for a warm sound, rich in harmonics and excellent playability, this instrument represents a rare opportunity.
Magnificent 4/4 violin handmade entirely 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 vibrations, the wood has reached exceptional acoustic maturity. The tone is deep, round 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 kept at the peak of its potential. It is the ideal choice for conservatory students at an advanced level, professionals seeking a reliable second instrument, or discerning amateurs.

Materials and Luthier Details
Top plate: First-choice red spruce with excellent resonance properties.
Back, ribs and pegbox: Maple chosen with a striking and dense natural figure.
Finish: Alcohol-based, with a warm and bright amber-orange hue that enhances the wood’s flames.
Construction: Built on an internal mould following 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 drafted and signed by luthier Augusta Di Leonardo (workshop in Cremona).
The document unequivocally certifies provenance, measurements, materials and manual workmanship.

Conditions
The instrument is in perfect structural condition: no cracks, fissures or repairs to the soundpost or tailpiece. It shows only light, charming surface signs on the varnish consistent with its decades of history, which give it an authentic vintage character without compromising its acoustics in the slightest. Already tuned and ready to be played immediately.
