PayPalBeautiful old Violin Labeled John Friedrich & Bro New York 1913 4/4. Thomastik-Infeld Dominant strings and Pirastro Gold Label E String are Brand new. Absolutely perfectly set up and ready to play needs nothing.
I was able to look inside the instrument and can report there were a couple of top repairs made see images all are fixed and touched up. The neck projection was exactly 27 mm giving the bridge a height of 34 mm ensuring that the string angle is correct and not low like one might see with many vintage instruments that gives this quite a lot of volume like modern instruments. The action at end of fingerboard is just over 5 mm for the G and 4 mm for the E.
This is a fantastic violin to play. It has guts where you want it and is brilliant and very responsive. The sound is mature, a strikingly opulent instrument with a great response off the strings. The sustain and clarity of sound also makes me notice the violin. The overtones are warm and full of color; not black and white. This is an exciting instrument to strike with a bow. As a player, I had a big smile when just playing the violin. In tonal character the violin has a warm, mature tonal range. This is not a beginner violin this is for an expert level player IMO.
