Object Details
- Description
- This violin was made in Markneukirchen, Germany around 1890. This instrument with 7/8-size normal violin rib outline is open, without table or back, to limit sound volume. A central strip supports the bridge and provision is made for a “chinrest” area at the lower left bout. A normal violin neck allows the instrument to be used for technique development. This violin is made of a “table strip” of walnut, ribs of laminated walnut with walnut body bracing system, maple neck, pegbox and scroll, and a transparent yellow varnish.
