The violin, with its different origins from the piano, has always piqued my curiosity. I have collected them in my spare time and have also helped connect musicians looking for instruments with ones I've found. This instrument was originally acquired by an acquaintance who plays the violin. Since they don't have many opportunities to play it, I was asked if I knew anyone looking for a good violin. Currently, it is still being played and maintained by its previous owner. Here is some information I've received: Approximately one year ago, the following repairs were made: * Neck reset * Repair of the button area due to the neck reset * Replacement of the fingerboard, soundpost, bridge, and pegs It is believed that the sound has finally settled after these somewhat extensive repairs. Even so, it is played only a few times a week, and no significant wear is apparent. Regarding the sound itself, it resonates clearly and without any quirks, matching its aged and dignified appearance. It is mellow, rich, and mature. I have also played it alongside my piano, and it feels well-suited for occasions like chamber music. It seems to project more volume at a slight distance rather than up close, which I believe is a testament to its quality as a fine instrument. Going back further, I was told that the previous owner inherited this instrument from a German orchestra musician. This introduction may be somewhat brief, so please feel free to ask any questions if you are interested. ◆ I have recorded videos of the instrument being played for your reference. Please take a look if you wish.
