Italian made violin. Joseph Guarnerius in Italy Circa 1700/1735!! Restored by a luthier. Beautiful wood species were used to create this violin and it has a breathtaking sound that is both clear and deep. Very old pearly bridge that is about 50 years old. Strings: Pirastro Evah Pirazzi. Some loss of varnish here and there... you can see it in the photos. I am attaching many photos so that you can get a good look at this violin from every angle. Comes with case for storage and protection, with materials for taking care of it and extra parts! I’m not sure if this violin is from the 17th century, but it is definitely an exceptional instrument! I am including many photos. Would make an amazing Christmas gift for any artist in search of gorgeous and above all high quality violins!
