[QUOTE="charlie cheswick, post: 10282645, member: 853"]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 [USER=55]@all_fakes[/USER] wouldn't mind taking a looky any thoughts or info appreciated [ATTACH=full]515687[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515688[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515689[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515690[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515691[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515692[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515694[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]515695[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
