This is a nice old Maggini model violin that someone started to restore. The top is made of medium grained spruce, broadening in the flanks. The back , ribs and neck are of beautifully figured curly maple. There is a couple repaired top cracks. I looked inside, and the repair looks good. (No post patch because the crack falls well outside the soundpost area.) Somebody stripped the top.

There used to be a crack at the A peg hole that has been glued. It will need further attention. This could be a really nice fiddle if someone wants to put the time into a good repair and setup.

I am a retired, professional violin maker, and have just too many violins. I don’t have time to repair them all. Watch for my other eBay auctions.
