(1877-1928) "Ettore Soffritti," a master craftsman from Ferrara. He learned stringed instrument making from his father, Luigi Soffritti, and made his first violin at the age of 8. He went on to have an astonishing career, opening his own shop at the age of 15, and became a leading stringed instrument maker of the 1900s. This violin uses Italian materials and is a work of art, with its genius craftsmanship and outstanding sense of design, reminiscent of sculptural art. It is a masterpiece that allows you to easily handle and play the sound of modern Italian violins. The overall condition is very good. The purchase price was around 750,000 yen. Although a certificate of appraisal was not included at the time of purchase, it has been verbally appraised. It was inspected and adjusted by a skilled craftsman last year. The bridge, sound post, and strings have been adjusted. The overall health of the violin has also been checked. Overall, it is in very good condition. It is ready to use immediately. As this is an old violin, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection like a new instrument, if you are concerned about minor surface scratches or very slight imperfections, or if you do not understand old violins that are nearly 100 years old. The included accessories are a dedicated case. This is the only one available for purchase at the moment, so please consider this opportunity.
