Retail of $14,000. Only asking $3,500 because of repairs to the top of the back on the violin which devalue the instrument a little bit but do not cause any structural issues. Still please perfectly and no repairs will cause any future problems. I just price things down when they have repairs done like that. So a great opportunity to get a professional grade instrument for a fraction of the price. Made c..1820 has a big, dark , warm open sound that is really lovely and powerful. Have many other fine violins and bows and violas all at wholesale prices. I have been supplying violin shops around the country for many years with violins. You can also buy them direct for me.
