This violin was modeled after those made by Jakob Stainer. It has a two piece spruce top of fine even grain, and a two piece maple back with moderate figure. The varnish is chocolate brown and in fairly good condition. The instrument was restored in August 2020 by Thurmond Knight, requiring a new bottom block, new boxwood peg hole bushings, new ebony pegs and setup. The tone is warm with a very beautiful silvery upper end that sings all the way up the fingerboard. The sale price: $695.
