Description

The violin is a stringed instrument and seems to be made out of exquisite wood. The shallow body consists of a solid spruce top and maple back, sides and bridge. The reddish-brown varnish highlights the structure of the wood and makes it seem to glow from within. It has four gut strings with one tuning peg each and two f-shaped acoustic holes on the front of the body. The fingerboard seems to be made out of ebony.
