Buy a 1/4 Size Suzuki 1966 Violin
This is the youngest violin in the collection. It is in great condition especially when you consider that the previous owner was probably a very young child. There are very few marks and scratches. It has very complete documentation inside. It is identified as a Stradivarius copy by the Suzuki Violin Co. Ltd. of Nagoya, Japan. Further it is identified as No. 101 RR, made in 1966. In separate identification in the other F hole it is identified as Model S 1/4, serial # 743 and dated 10/66.
This Suzuki violin is made from wood. The back and the sides are maple. It is not the dramatic maple grain of the German violins but it is genuine maple. The top is made of spruce. The hardware including the pins, the tailpiece and the fingerboard are ebony. You will not find this in brand new violins out of present day factories. Modern Suzuki violins are made with a lot of synthetic materials. Chinese violins are made of plastic and make a sound that drives trained ears to distraction. That is why this violin is worth as least as much as a brand new violin. The sound is good and it has stood the test of time by surviving over 4 decades. It will hold its value for resale to future students and will appreciate in value for its collectible status.
