More Information

This violin is generally in a poor state of preservation and the condition can clearly be seen in the images. Although there are no sound post cracks, there are numerous other cracks in the table and some edging missing, the back is slightly opening on the join and there has been a poor repair under the button where the neck has come away from the body, see images for guidance, personal viewing advised.
