AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Standard size violin.
Made by Johan Georg Lippold (1739-1824), musical instrument maker in Neukirschen near Adorf.
Johan Georg Lippold was in Neukirschen (the present Markneukirchen) Obermeister of the guild (violin builders' guild).
The above information partly comes from the Armati Instruments Ltd Makers Archive.
But more importantly is the information I received from Udo Kretzschmann. He is Obermeister of the guild in Markneukirchen. He evaluated the violin at his home for quality and provenance. I drove to Markneukirchen for that.
Also important is the small label affixed to the inside underside of the violin. It lists the name of the maker.
- tailpiece sizes from top to bottom: respectively 16, 11 and 20.5 cm
- defects (see photo): a small superficial damage to the lacquer
- according to Udo Kretzschmann, the violin was made around 1800-1805
- the violin was played by my father (born in 1914) in his teenage and student years
Violin and bows that are described as 'certified' or 'accredited' contain images of their certificates and therefore have a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, provenance and age than instruments that are described only as 'labeled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we do not provide any guarantee
