Violon • Allemand Antonius Stradivarius offres Cremonensis, Faciebat Anno taille 3/4

Vintage German Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis, Faciebat Anno 17..Case.

I don't claim to know enough about old violins to say for sure if this piece is an antique or not. For sure it is vintage. I have my doubts that it is 100+ years old - but like I said, my expertise in this field is limited.

Obviously needs to be restrung. It does come with some very old strings - one is gut! Cool! But they look used. It also comes with a few extra bridges. You can never have too many I suppose right? Additionally, it comes with 2 extra sets of tuning pegs.

Has a chin rest (do not believe it is original to this violin) but is missing the tailpiece. Everything is intact though and overall a sturdy violin. Cosmetically it is also in great shape - especially considering it's age. There are some minor signs of wear - and a few weird things going on with the varnish - but for the most part it's great. Please check those photos for further details though - I may have missed something.

Case is old as well, turquoise interior. A few marks on the exterior of case from wear. Clasps shut as it should and I have given it a good cleaning. No key.

This violin does *not* come with offres a bow.

My handling time varies between same day or next (business) day depending on the time that you order. I typically make a post office trip daily in the morning.
