Rare fine old master violin by Ernst Challier early 1900s.

Please listen to the video/soundfile & scroll down to see all detailed XXL photos below as part of the description!

Finely carved scroll and accurately inlaid purfling. This rare authentic violin shows some repairs on the front table, but no open cracks or open seams. The table is fine grained spruce and the 1-piece back, as well as ribs and neck, is maple. The instrument has been checked by our luthiers and checked by our violin player on playability. In our workshop it received new setup with new ebony pegs, a new bridge, new ebony tailpiece, new ebony chinrest and new strings.

These are new German silver wound steel core strings with good projection, easy to play while allowing rapid finger performance. We use these strings on mostly all of our violins to allow a comparison of the tonality of each instrument in the videos. In any case a new owner should consider higher quality strings of own personal preference to enhance the full tonal character of this violin!

Rare old German master violin with great potential in immediate playing condition! Please see the video & listen to the sound on youtube!
