This violin by Mr. Mroz was built in 2008. The top is made of fine spruce wood with a so-called 'hazel' pattern that looks very nice with the soft, gold / brown oil lacquer. The back is two-part and balanced, deeply flamed. The tone of the violin is powerful, open and clear ( sound clip below). This violin comes with a certificate of the maker.

Rental price: 50 euros per month
