Antique Southern German violin by Joseph Kriner, Würzburg circa 1890

Violin of the Mittenwald school by Joseph Kriner, Würzburg

The resonating chamber of this old Southern German violin by Joseph Kriner, Würzburg; a Stradivari inspired model with with flat archings, is forming a beautiful warm sound, that is large, somewhat mellow and strong, resonant and clear in the upper ranges. This lovely violin is a good example for the excellent quality of Southern German craftsmanship in the end of the 19th century: tonewoods of best quality, as are typical for the region, rounded, slightly accentuated edges and a beautifully transparent and slightly craquelled golden red-brown varnish over a yellow ground clearly reveal the violin´s provenance. We offer the professionally reworked instrument without any damage or repair very good condition, worked over by our violin makers and offered ready to play.
