Vintage half size violin

Submitted by admin on Mon, 02/11/2008 - 18:59.

I call this a vintage violin because in the world of violins it is not antique.  It is a German made violin that dates to post World War II so at only 50 to 65 years old it falls short of the 100 year mark that would make it antique.

This violin has no label or stamp inside of the F hole to give us a clue as to its origin. The wood is very similar to the other German violins but the techniques and other clues in how it is made, say that it is newer.  It is a bit worn but I am sure that is due to the fact that younger players were the ones who used it.

Our luthier glued some spots, refit the pegs, cut the bridge to proper specs and then cleaned and polished it.  It is perfectly set up and ready to play.  This would be a very nice starter violin for some young talent.
