Description

This is an elegant hand carved violin with a solid spruce top and hand carved maple back, sides, and bridge. The fingerboard, pegs, tailpiece, and chinrest are made from the finest ebony wood. The instrument has been brushed over lovingly with a black varnish that still allows the fine structure of the wood to shine through and please the eye while the violinist pleases the ear. One of the strings looks rather flexible, as though it could be used to project something forward.
