Italian violin made in Napoli in 1976. The violin is illegibly signed Antonio Io..xxx. The one-piece top is made of medium grained spruce, the one-piece back of mildly flamed field maple with soft, flowing flames. The unconventional scroll in the Neapolitan tradition is carved from unflamed maple. This interesting Italian violin is in excellent condition, the sound is mature, bright and sweet with a soft character in the lower ranges.
