Hand signed inside, as was typical of this maker. Beautiful golden ground with a reddish overtones in the thinly applied varnish, a typical feature of this maker's work. A very refined violin, with strong arching and a sweet powerful tone. It came to us with a couple of tiny cracks either side of the neck which we have properly restored and secured. The rest of the instrument is in absolutely impeccable condition and sounds amazing with it's new set up and Evah Pirazzi Gold strings.
