This Italian violin is of very high quality and build. It has a two pieces back made from softly flamed maple; the table is likewise matching of high quality even grained spruce. Purfling has been painstakingly inlaid front and back. The scroll has an interesting human form. Varnish is original and in first class condition. A soloist instrument having a huge, carrying dominant sound. Well balanced throughout the spectrum, performs well in the high positions.
