Old Vintage Antique 4/4 German Stradiuarius copy violin ca. 1930, #1311
For sale is a rich-sounding, full sized German Stradivarius copy violin in playing condition, made about the year 1930 and imported to the US. Over the next few months I will be listing some restorable and repairable violins in my eBay store. Most, like this one, are European shop violins of good quality from the period 1880-1940. Occasionally, as in this case, I will list one that is set up and in playing c...ondition. I'm selling these because I must continue to downsize my operation.Workmanship on this violin is good. The label reads "Copy of / Antonius Stradiuarius / Made in Germany." This is a good grade shop violin made ca. 1930 with well carved purfling, nice bee-stings at the points, and with its original varnish that is in good condition except for wear from use and scratches and nicks where the varnish has worn away (see pics). The violin is set up and ready to play, although it will be shipped with the bridge down. Sound is rich and powerful.Details: The two-piece maple back measures 14 1/16" long; overall length of the violin is 23." The back measures 8" at the widest point of the lower bout; 6 7/16" at the upper bout. The spruce top is narrow grained, widening at the flanks. Blocked in the front corners and fully lined. No cracks. Shining a light into the interior, I see a vertical stress mark in the bass rib, which does penetrate to the exterior and does not pose a problem. Neck joint, fingerboard, button and peg box are solid (see pics), no repairs. A soundpost is standing inside. Inventory # 1311. Shipping via US postal service. Will ship worldwide.
