This is an advanced level, vintage Maggini Copy 4/4 violin with double purfling and an extra turn scroll. It is handmade with a spruce, maple, and ebony body, and finished with professional varnish. This violin comes with a lightweight case and is perfect for orchestral or solo playing. With intricate detailing and high-quality craftsmanship, this violin offers a rich, beautiful sound for any musician looking for a high-quality instrument.
The origin is unknown (possibly German) offering you the opportunity to own a high quality violin for a very reasonable investment. No label but the Maggini pattern is unmistakable. There are the typical minor nicks and scratches from being played over many decades, but otherwise the instrument has no cracks or major damage, is super solid and ready to play. Nice balance, good color range and ease of playing makes this a no brainer for an advancing or serious musician.
You can use this violin in an advanced orchestra or as a "picnic fiddle" for those professional outdoor performances without concern because of the high quality craftsmanship that went into the making of this fine violin. You can buy now with confidence as I evaluate violins from a professional perspective. This is an incredible bargain at only USD$3500.00.
