This is an older European violin, probably made in Germany in the late 1800s. This is a quality violin as evidenced by the expertly carved scroll, the quality of the woods used, and the overall construction. There are several repaired cracks on the top and the ribs, all solidly repaired with reinforcement inside. The price would be quite a bit higher without the repairs. The label indicates this is modeled after violins made by Domenico Montagnana, a Venetian violinmaker from the 18th century. The violin has a new setup with new bridge, soundpost, pegs, and Dominant strings. The tone is warm and mature with excellent resonance.
