WALTER MAHR #5 2006 4/4 Violin This violin is by WALTER MAHR, a workshop in Germany, and was sold by Shimokura Violin. Although the current grade designations differ, this is a high-grade #5 model. Even the lowest current grade is 1300 euros (230,000 yen), and the fifth grade from the bottom is 4200 euros (750,000 yen). Considering this violin is also the fifth grade from the bottom, the current new retail price would likely be around 750,000 yen. The sound has the deep bass typical of German instruments, and clear, beautiful high notes without being shrill. There are many small scratches, but it is in good condition without any major damage or stains.
