Dear musicians and collectors, you are bidding on a very old 4/4 violin. The violin comes in my opinion from the very early 19th century and is in a good shape, though it has few repair over the instrument. The scroll is grafted. Generally speaking, the condition is good. In my opinion the violin is ready to play - a new bridge and great strings should be considered and you would have a solo sound. The wood and work are amazing. Amazing varnish. The scroll looks just impressive. The violin has a good sound.
The origin of the violin is unknown.The wood is very beautiful and the purfling looks amazing.  The setup is rosewood.The label says:  Joseph Dall'aglio fecit Mantue anno 1816The total length of the violin is 598mm; body - 360 mm.For the violin you could pay via bank transfer (free shipping as bonus for US (in case of bank transfer only); for other payments there is a fee of 79$ for the shipping), paypal, check and other methods.Wish you a successful bidding.
