18th Century Baroque German Violin
This beauty is a mid to late 1700s German Baroque Violin. It bears no label, but we do believe to the best of our knowledge that this is indeed an 18th century instrument. The setup (fingerboard & tailpiece) are likely not original, nor is the neck. The scroll graft is indicative of a neck replacement, which was a common procedure done in the 19th century onward to make older violins more suitable for modern playing. It is probable that this violin was originally baroque, then was converted to the modern standard, and then was finally returned back to a baroque state in recent times. The tone can be described as earthy, deep, rich, full, and broad.
Note: This violin will come with Eudoxa strings, which are modern gut strings, and which are not the strings in the photographs.
