Singer/Songwriter and good friend, Robby, received this violin from a relative. I offered to fix some of the problems it had including a shiney lacquer on the fingerboard that had areas of a chipped finish among other problems. The back had come unglued at the bottom block leaving a gap that needed to be closed. The bridge had been poorly fitted, was warped and needed to be replaced. The strings were old, dirty and oxidized. The violin is old but has no label inside. It is an inexpensive instrument but has pretty darn good tone and would make someone happy to play. There is no ebony anywhere on this instrument. It does have blocks and linings and a well fashioned scroll. I had fun bring this instrument back to use again.
