This is a very old - maybe 19th century, early 20th? - full size violin. Length of body: 14". no cracks that i can see, only a few nicks to the varnish. Scroll is grafted and beautifully done. Peg holes have been nicely bushed. Fully blocked and lined. Looks like very good work. No warping. All solid. Has a label in it: Raffaele desideri 1827 fece in Ascoli. The violin is probably a German copy from the early 20th century. What is certain is that this is a well made violin ready to be set up and, from the looks of it, promises to sound very good. Will come with an old case. No strings, no bow. All set up will be needed. Sound post is inside but might come down during shipping. Will only ship to lower 48 United States - no exceptions. Will accept returns ONLY if I have misrepresented what I am selling. Please ask all questions before bidding.
