Hello Everyone!
This full size violin is Incredible, Old, and Beautiful. It was repaired in 1961 by JB Miller (no sound post crack, or opened seams) and the workmanship is VERY fine. The history is unknown to me (regrettably). It is very old and I have to say it looks and feels old. The more I look the more I wonder its origins. The sound is gorgeous. Pure is the word that comes to mind. This is a very wonderful instrument that someone will cherish for a life time.
The top of the violin is made from tight grained high grade spruce that is premium for fine instrument construction. The red golden brown varnish with the speckles of black bring out the spruce top even more and create such a beautiful composition! The back is made from two pieces of figured maple. The varnish is a deep transparent red that gives the maple depth that doesn’t seem possible. The workmanship of the ribs and neck is superb. The corners seamlessly blending to the next and the neck gracefully extending from the body of the violin. Over all the instruments craftsmanship is very fine and worthy of being an instrument for the most avid musician.
This is a clear sounding violin. One most have the sensibility to wield it. There are no expressive boundaries that it can’t handle. I am not exaggerating, the winner WILL experience this. Every note resounds into the distance and is shaped by the maker, clear, warm, intense, full, blending…. you name it…. the overtones are awesome!! It is a very powerful instrument and will fill a hall easily if need. And great sectional instrument for its blending qualities. I hope this instrument falls into the hands of a serious musician. That is why I am putting a reserve on it. It NEEDS to be played consciously. The artist won’t be disappointed!
