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. Generally speaking, the condition is good. In my opinion the violin is ready to play - great strings should be considered and you would have a good sound. The wood and work are amazing. Amazing varnish. The scroll looks just impressive. Many repaired cracks on the top.
The origin of the violin is unknown.The wood is very beautiful and the purfling looks amazing.  The setup is ebony.The label says:  Aloysius Marconcini Ferrariencis fecit Ferrarie Anno 1779
The total length of the violin is 599mm; body - 357 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.
