Description
You are bidding for an old valuable Italian labelled violin On offer is a very desirable stunning full sized Italian labelled violin. Violin is of very high quality and build. It has been beautifully preserved, it shows a few signs of usage to be expected of all instruments however has no Cracks or scratches of any kind. Year of build according to the label is 1947, the instrument has already acquired some age to it and will most certainly continue to increase in value throughout the years and as such I imagine it would be a good medium to long term investment.Due to requests of 'buy it now' prices I have had for other violins now sold, I have listed this violin as such. This I think is much fairer than placing a reserve and gives the buyer a much clearer honest what you see is what you get approach. The violin will be sold on a first come first served basis. If you are genuinely interested in the violin please use the 'buy it now' option and I would be happy to wait a reasonable length of time for payment putting aside the instrument. Note the quality of the violin is reflected in the price. It you are looking for a low cost Chinese instrument please look elsewhere, you will be getting a great deal compared to what high street shops and other retailers with high overheads would charge you. This is the minimum I can sell the violin for (considering price originally paid by person I am selling this for), after all we do not intend on giving such a nice instrument away! However we would like a relatively fast sale. If you do not agree to this or any part of this listing then please do not bid! The instrument has new professional quality Tonica strings and a high quality AUBERT bridge that fits perfectly. The pegs also fit nicely and turn freely within the peg-box and the strings hold their pitch well and for long periods of time, highlighting the overall stability and structural condition.The back is made from beautifully figured wood; the table is likewise matching of high quality. Purfling has been painstakingly inlaid front and back, Beautiful tail piece complementing the aesthetic beauty of the violin with mother of pearl inlay. Varnish is original and in first class condition. The well grained table and perfectly coloured finish indicate consistently high quality craftsmanship.Full size violin back length (excluding bottom of neck): 358mm Total length: 590mm Label inside the violin from what I make out an Italian maker:SIMONAZZI AMEDEOScolaro di "Stefano Scarampelia"Fatto a S.VITTORIA (Emilia)Anno 1947A beautiful violin with all the characteristics of Scarampela school.This is a superior sounding instrument, the sound, tone it produces is excellent. Very loud, a very high quality violin fit for any purpose, soloist, chamber, orchestra.Well balanced throughout the spectrum, performs well in the high positions.There does appear to be a repair on the bottom of the violin (see photos) however this is stable and requires no further attention.I hope this truly marvellous violin finds a deserving home and will be well appreciated.I guarantee the professionally set up condition of the violin and would accept a return if you find it to be different from that seen in the photos, otherwise the sale is final.Violin will be sent in a brand new modern case for maximum protection on posting, old cases do not protect violins well from knocks and the velvet inside can attract insects that may damage the violin. Includes chinrest.Please look at the photos, most do not give justice to the truly beautiful standard of varnish on the violin however I have done my best. Be sure to add me to your favourites list! Any questions I will endeavour to answer in a polite timely manner.This violin I hope will please you very much, it is a pleasure to play.Thank you very much for taking the time to have a look.
