Description

A lovely "Steiner" violin from (likely) Weimar Germany needs to find a good player and owner. I'm permanently switched to piano-playing.This violin was bought for me when I was about 16 - purchased from a chamber player who was leaving the country. In October of last it was completely gone over and repaired (bushings included) by Matthias Lehner near Lincoln Center in New York City. New Dominant strings.The fiddle has a warm tone and a nice clarity. It features a pleasant "strad" back and has the imprimature of a nicely-seasoned century old fiddle.I'm getting good reviews from players of this instrument.  It's a very good violin.  Case available for an extra consideration (contact if needed, and I will post it as a separate auction with free shipping).
