Violins that were built after French models are relatively rare in the violin making tradition of Germany, so this beautiful instrument is an especially interesting piece that was crafted ain the workshop of Kochendörfer Stuttgart in the early 20th century. The high gloss of the intensively red colored varnish that shows many traces from playing highlights the fine tonewoods, especially the strong flames of the two-piece maple back and of the ribs. The finely crafted purfling that was executed close to the accentauted edges and the elegant scroll demonstrate the careful and experienced hand of the unknown violin maker. This Kochendörfer Stuttgart violin is with minor repairs in good condition and was thoroughly reviewed by our experts, so we can offer it in immediate playing condition, ready to express its recommendable sound that is bright, clear sound.
