This beautiful characterful old fiddle is in excellent condition for its age. It has some insignificant historic repairs to the belly (see pictures).  The back measures 10 inches (26 cm). 
 The violin makes a strong and vibrant sound and is ready to play .
 I am a retired violin teacher and this violin has been used extensively very successfully for the last 25 years by my students.
 It comes with a very serviceable used case and a useful used one eighth size bow.
