    Hi folks

    another local auction purchase(35). I've sold all but one of my fiddles, so wanted a new one to find out about

    its a full size (4/4) (14/1/4 inch body) looks to be a set up ready to play as the playability is superb with low string action

    59cm full length

    scroll has been carved right back (which i've heard is a good sign for a violin)

    all looks nicely made, beautiful ebony on the fingerboard

    looking at the bridge, it looks to be properly set up to play

    beautiful sound ( i can't really play, but can make strings ring out with a bow)

    if i had to guess i'd put it turn of the century, maybe a bit before or after

    hopefully @all_fakes

    wouldn't mind taking a looky

    any thoughts or info appreciated

    no labels or markings on it

    bow that came with, think more modern, but nice quality
