Simone Sedda

This violin is built in the Germanic trade style, most likely from the late 19th or early 20th century. The f-holes are broader and less refined than those of the Cremonese school, with a more upright cut typical of German or Bohemian instruments from that period. The scroll is functional and roughly carved, consistent with mass-produced workshop instruments rather than individually luthier-made ones.

The instrument displays heavy varnish wear, with a patina and edge damage indicating age and extensive use. The back is two-piece maple with visible flame, but with less attention to symmetrical bookmatching, supporting the assessment of a workshop origin rather than a master maker. The tailpiece with built-in fine tuners is a modern replacement, common in restored student instruments.

The construction and wear indicate this violin was built as a durable, functional instrument, likely for the student or amateur market in the German region, using external mold construction and machine-assisted carving. 

Please be aware: the strings need to be replaced.
