Fine CZECH ANTIQUE VIOLIN, Amati model. Excellent build & tone
Price: CZ $266.33

  • Theviolin is of avery good build, with alined and blocked interior, beautifully carved scroll, shapely purfling, pronounced arching of both plates, attractive golden varnish, etc. Thetonewood is excellent too – both in case of the spruce top of even grain, and the parts made of beautifully flamed maple – thetwo-piece back, ribs and neck.
  • The violin is ready to play. Its tone matches the build and then some: it is actually very similar to the sound of the 1904 Prokop violin that I have currently on display as well(!), i.e. the tone is brilliant, full and juicy, plus very nicely balanced across the whole sound spectrum. Also the projection is excellent!
  • Theinstrument is in very good condition. There are no cracks anywhere. The setup is okay. Thefittings are old, but all in a good shape, including the recently re-fitted bridge and smoothly turning pegs. Theviolin is very nicely preserved, with a relatively low wear – afew spot scratches and blemishes, mainly on the top plate, nothing severe.
