    Description

    For sale here is an old violin, as pictured.
    Description:  This is a full-size violin, measuring about 23 1/4"  long overall, 14 1/8" body length and 8" wide at the widest point.  The
    top is spruce, the
    back, sides and neck are flamed maple and the finger board and pegs are ebony.  Inside is a typical fake Stradivarius label and another handwritten one that reads "Regraduated by L O Grover, Boston Mass 1903
    ."  The back of the peg box has a carved shield that is inlaid with bits of mother-of-pearl and enscribed "CONSERVATORY VIOLIN STRADUARI."  The violin was probably made in Germany, and the 1903 date on the regraduation label suggest the it was made in the late 1800s.
    Condition:  As found at the local flea market and as seen in the pictures.
    There are several repaired cracks in the top.  One of the top lower bout edges is a bit worn.  The varnish is almost
    completely intact with minimal wear or scratching.  The pegs fit well.  The sound post is standing up in position.
    The condition of the violin can best be assessed by looking at the pictures.  Look at them; they are part of the description.
    To be made playable, this violin needs minor seam regluing, bridge, tail piece, strings, chinrest, etc.  Please contact me if you have any questions or if you want more pictures.
    There is no case or bow included.
    This
    is being sold as is, for a set up/repair project, with no return option.  Please bid accordingly.
