Maker of Violins, Violas and Cellos

Violin from Saxony ca. 1880

 This violin was made in Saxony, most probably in Markneukirchen, circa 1880.  It is in excellent condition and plays easily with a warm, full bodied tone; is even across the strings.  The instrument is modeled after Stradivari.  The label is Thurmond Knight's repair label, dated 2007.  Restoration included re-setting the neck to the proper angle; graduation of the top, back and ribs; planing and smoothing the fingerboard; setup with new soundpost, bridge, Thomastic Vision strings, Wittner tailpiece, and boxwood chinrest.
