A Highly Antiquated Professional Violin #5251 (3/4)

Highly Antiquated Professional Level Violin (3/4)
Specially for the Talented Child Violinist
Made by Single Luthier from Start to Finish
Opera Workshop

Description
The most outstanding feature of this violin is the antiquating techniques and the impressive cracked marks. It is oil varnished, and the varnish is made by one of our client-luthier-supplier in Italy. Even we do not know the exact formula. But we are blessed because of its easy availability to us. The tone is nicely balanced on all 4 strings and responsive. With its good projection, this violin is suitable for solo performances. This particular violin is a very fine top quality violin. You can tell that the craftmanship is excellent in all ways. I particularly like the peg workmanship.

This violin is a no nonsense oil-varnished violin suitable for most professionals. Antiquated slightly for that fine touch, it is a violin with a lot of charisma. In old China, many houses are torned down to make way for new construction and the spruce that is used on these torned down houses can be used for making violins. We're lucky to acquire some of these very special aged wood, each of at least 50 years old, to be used to make one of our best models.

If you like instruments from small workshops...

"I am a violin trader and I come from Singapore. I work with small chinese violin/bow workshops. Currently, I represent an Alliance of Small Violin & Bow Makers. If you like instruments from small workshops, then maybe the violins/bows I supply will suit you. These violins/bows are made by one maker from beginning till the end.

I take great pride in my work and I expect nothing short of good quality from the violins I choose.

For resellers and violin teachers, I welcome you to discuss wholesale after you sample my violins/bows from ebay. I have various luthiers with unique styles in their violin and bow making techniques. At ebay, I show mainly one luthier's work. I cannot offer very high volume as these are made in small workshops and not large factories. But I can offer a good selection of different luthier's work.

Thanks for reading and happy bidding." Read more about me
