　　Aegidius Klotz violin original in all of its parts including the bass

　　bar! In a remarkably fine state of preservation for a 225 year

　　old violin. See condition report below.This violin was put on sale in a school in London that had possession of the instrument for over 120 years. I bought it while in London. An

　　authentic Aegidius Klotz violin is a wonderful instrument, easy to play, responsive, sonorous tone, and this

　　one is really special! Without a certificate from one of the two world

　　Klotz experts, you really don't know what you have. The two experts are Hieronymus Köstler in Stuttgart and Benjamin Schröder in Frankfurt.

　　asking price is within reason based on Dimitry

　　Ginidin market price. The

　　violin is currently in Vermont, USA, and will ship from the USA.

　　Packing and Shipping will be professional and the violin fully insured.

　　My insurance costs me three-hundred dollars for every ten-thousand

　　dollars of coverage. I never ship without insurance!I

　　give free shipping for domestic buyers. Domestic buyers pay only for my

　　insurance cost. If you want to fly to Essex Vermont, note that it is

　　only three hours by car from Boston, give me a head's up. If you are a domestic buyer, you pay nothing

　　for the shipping. It costs me three-hundred dollars for every ten

　　thousand dollars of insurance. You pay for the insurance. I pay for the

　　packing, crating, and shipping by courier. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. Will consider a trade or trade plus cash (from me to you or from you to

　　me) for the right bow. Looking for a Persois, J. Eury, E. Pajeot, D.

　　Peccatte, FX Tourte, Joseph Henry, Vtor Fetique (gold

　　mounted/Tortoise/Ivory shell), or one of his expo bows. A bow for either violin or for viola, certified, and in fine condition.
