1920s Guarnerius-Copy (Likely German) 4/4 Violin
This is a nice-quality, probably German-made, 4/4 violin with a bogus Guarnerius label in the bass f-hole on the inside. My guy Andy has entirely gone through this and it's playing beautifully and has a good, clean, straight-up sort-of sound that will cut easily in a jam or session.
I'm guesstimating it's a 1920s-era instrument judging by the build but I can't say for sure. The top has very tight grain, the flamed maple used in the back and sides is easy on the eyes, and the "carmely nut-brown" finish color is and excellent choice.
Repairs included: seam repairs, some board planing, bridge cut/fitting, soundpost set, new tailgut, peg adjustments/replacement as needed, previously a replacement nut (bone), cleaning, and setup work.
