This older, full size (4/4) violin is a copy of the very famous Stradivarius Violins. The label inside says "copy of Antonius Stradivarius Faciebat Cremona 1713 made in Western Germany" so its hard to pinpoint the actual maker and year of this instrument, but Western Germany was only around between May 1949 and October 1990 when the wall came down and both sides of Germany were reunited into one. Hard to tell on the materials, but it looks like the standard spruce top, maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard, flamed maple neck, ebony tuning pegs, bridge and chin rest. The bridge has fine tuners attached. It has just been adjusted by our violin tech. It plays well and sounds good! Comes with a case, bow and rosin.
