This Markneukirchen violin after the pattern of Stradivarius was made in the second half of the previous century in a smaller workshop and thus far exceeds the quality of the well-known 'factory violins'. The violin - carefully made with a sharp purfling, carefully cut scroll, a beautiful red-orange brown varnish, is an ideal instrument for a beginning violinist who is ready for the next step. The violin with new tuning pegs, bridge and piratro strings responds easily and has a clear, open sound.
