I'm selling a stunning, handcrafted violin with a tough, top notch oblong case. I acquired the violin several years ago with a violin shop I utilized to work for; it was a maker's sample that was sent out to the shop, and for that reason has no label inside. (After getting this sample, the store purchased lots of more instruments, and remains to sell them to many delighted clients.) The handiwork is splendid and gorgeous, and was done in the United States. The noise that this violin offers is extraordinarily rich, deep, and beautiful. The projection is amazing too, and the great setup makes it extremely easy to play. It is presently strung with Thomastik Dominant strings. I played this violin for years in orchestras and fiddle contests, and was always extremely delighted with it. At the minute I have numerous violins, and just have to downsize my assortment. This violin would be ideal for an advanced violinist or fiddle player trying to find a deep, rich sounding instrument that is a pleasure to play and stunning to take a look at. I'm consisting of a strong, top quality oval case with the violin.
