"MADE IN GERMANY Antonius Stradiuarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 1725" Made in Germany, manufactured around 1950 1/2 size violin Body length: 310mm This is a 1/2 size Stradivarius model violin made in the Saxony region of Germany around 1950. This is a high-grade fractional violin, not a common manufacturer's product, and features a one-piece back. Made using traditional methods, you can enjoy the responsiveness and resonance resulting from nearly a century of aging. The body has been opened and the thickness of the top plate and the bass bar have been adjusted, reducing muffled sound and significantly improving the response. It's rare to see such extensive adjustments on a fractional instrument. This is a wonderful instrument, so don't miss this opportunity. It's also recommended for upgrading from entry-level instruments as your child grows. How about it for those who don't want to compromise even on a fractional size? Nurturing rich sensitivity with a good instrument from a young age is, I believe, a shortcut to future improvement.
