This fine modern Italian violin by Bottali-Roth-Pelitti
is offered to the highest bidder with no reserve.The violin bears the brand of the firm and was made around 1920. It is absolutely authentic. There are many photos of violins by this firm easily available on the web, auction history is readily available and the comparison to known violins is easy to make.The firm of Bottali-Roth-Pelitti is the combination of three Italian instrument makers established in Milan in 1919. They made only high grade violins, violas, cellos and their bows. It was probably the largest workshop exclusive to the making of stringed instruments in Italy at the time. Instruments produced by the firm won gold medals at exhibitions in most of the western world. They used the publicity to reinforce their reputation in North America and Europe.This is a fine, handmade modern Italian violin that, while well-played, is in an excellent state of preservation. There are no cracks or repairs nor are there any damages to report. There are some small nicks and dings but nothing major. The violin has been expertly set up with a custom carved bridge, new well-fitted pegs, a properly fitted sound post, excellent ebony fittings new Thomastik Dominant strings, and a nice boxwood tailpiece. The string heights have been checked and are correct as is the fingerboard projection. The fingerboard is properly planed and scooped, the violin has ben tested and adjusted and is ready for immediate play.
The best terms to describe the sound of this instrument are clear, clean and pure. The bell-like clarity of the tone and its pure, clean sound is quite remarkable and rarely found. I don't know if this tone is the elusive "Italian" sound, but I do know that it is extraordinary and quite refreshing compared to some muddy, hollow and fuzzy sounding instruments that carry crazy price tags. This is a profoundly balanced tone; neither really dark, nor stridently bright but a pleasing and smooth blend of colors. The violin has exceptional range, producing a warm, singing tone with the lightest of bow pressure, and a forceful, crystal clear, clean and focused sound when played more aggressively. The violin projects very well, while remaining sweet and resonant under the ear. The sweetness and purity of the sound, combined with ringing overtones and delightful harmonics, provide compelling evidence of the quality of this violin and its value to the advanced professional.
The flexibility, range, power and volume make this violin an ideal tool for the serious performer.
The bidding will open at $49 and the violin will sell to the high bidder regardless of price. This is a real auction. The high bidder wins regardless of price.
I guarantee this violin is Italian, authentically branded, and as described. It is guaranteed to be delightful and as good as my description or I will happily take it back for a full refund. I stand behind what I sell and only offer good instruments that are worthy of a full guarantee. If you win it, and it isn't what you were hoping for, you can return it for a full refund excluding my shipping charge. But please plan on making up your mind and letting me know within 14 days. Absolutely no refunds or returns considered more than 30 days after auction end.
This is a full-sized violin. The back measures 13 7/8 inches or 354 mm. If you are looking for a violin for a few hundred dollars don't waste a lot of your time with this one. It will certainly sell for several thousands, not several hundreds of dollars. Sometimes I am asked how I can sell good and valuable violins like this with a low starting bid and no reserve. It is because I have sold hundreds of violins on eBay to satisfied buyers and the word spreads. I know that serious players, teachers, and advanced students look at my auctions regularly and know that my descriptions are accurate and my violins are very good if I say they are. Just check my feedback. If you have any questions, or need additional photos, please don't hesitate to email me.Please contact me directly if there are any questions, concerns, problems or issues. Contact me first if you plan to return the violin and I will take care of everything in a prompt and professional manner.
I am dedicated to excellent customer service.
The violin does not come with a case or bow. Insured shipping and professional packaging of the highest order is $39 in the US, $69 to Canada and $89 to most other countries. I double pack in new, custom-made shipping cartons. I use packing materials designed to provide superior protection for old violins. I ship very fast, usually within 24 hours of payment-or less. You can expect your package to arrive safely within a couple of days of your payment.Thanks for looking!!!! Pahdah_hound

I have found some repairs that I overlooked when I listed this violin.There is a sound post crack on the top as well as a crack running just to the left of the bass side foot of the bridge. It is not over the bass bar. I checked inside the violin and there is a full sound post patch inlaid inside the top. Both repairs have been done to a very high standard and are hard to find unless you are looking for them. Other than these repairs, the violin is in excellent condition.
The repaired cracks are more apparent in the photos than they are in hand.Thank-you!Pahdah_hound
