This is a beautiful ,old, vintage, hand made full size Stainer violin. I say it is hand made because of the fine craft manship on the whole instrument. For example, one can feel the carved ribs on the back plates, the inlaid perfling is maticulous, and the scroll work is superb. This violin has a highly flamed two piece carved back, a medium grained spruce top, inlaid perfling, ebony finger board, ebony pegs, and tailpiece.
