Hello, thank you for your interest in my violin. I have many other violins for sale. I will be listing more in the future, so please consider following me. [Instrument Introduction] The roots of the Franz Kirschnek company go back to Joseph Muller, who was born in Bohemia (present-day Czech Republic) in 1850. Since opening his workshop in 1880, he received various awards and exhibited at the Paris World's Fair in 1900. Then, in 1933, his grandson-in-law, Franz Kirschnek, established his own company, which became the current Franz Kirschnek company. The current workshop is located in Erlangen, near Bubenreuth, Germany. They are proud of their long-standing tradition and produce high-quality instruments. Instrument Features Based on the Stradivarius model, the instruments are made with beautiful wood grain, especially on the back, and the varnish on the higher-end models has an antique finish. They are characterized by their good balance and clear high notes, and they gain strength and beauty the more they are played. The violin for sale this time is No. 19 and has a list price of 320,000 yen. It is a mid-range class instrument. A bow from the Atelier Saldo brand and a non-branded bow are included so you can start playing right away. The Atelier Saldo bow needs to have its hair replaced. The case is a new shoulder-type case. It's a plastic case that can withstand a little rain.
