Unlabelled German ¼-sized violin

This very pretty, ¼-sized violin was made in the Vogtland area of Germany or Bohemia. It’s red-gold varnish enhances an attractively-flamed maple back and a well-chosen, narrow-grained spruce belly. For such a small violin, the tonal response is amazing, speaking easily with brightness, clarity and a creamy warmth. This violin will make an excellent choice for a talented young player who is needing an instrument that will reward a search for tone colour and versatility.
