A fine antique and very interesting 18th century violin for restoration.Fine antique 18th century violin sold for restoration. The top and back are made of two parts. The violin has been made after a flat model. The varnish is of a superb deep brown color. The neck and head have been changed somewhere through 19th century. The corners are well rounded by time, showing that the violin has been intensively payed. The violin shows extensive restorations on top, including soundpost and bass bar repairs. There is also a repair on the back (not to soundpost). The violin is playable as it is, but will benefit from a revision. I don't know the origin but it is really a very interesting instrument, with gorgeous woods, which could have a big value. The violin is unlabelled.LOB : 355 mm.The instrument comes with an old case. Insured shipping to EU $50 and US $75.Happy bidding !
