Galiano Label, made around 1790 4/4 size violin Body Length: 352mm This is an old violin with a label from Alessandro Gagliano, the first of the famous Gagliano family of the Neapolitan school in Italy. A repair label indicates that it was repaired in 1906 by Otto Schmetz (Ingolstadt, Germany). It is a work with a high arch and a deep brown varnish, typical of old violins. The body is slightly small at 352mm, and the weight is light at 452g overall. The string length is also a little short, feeling like between a 7/8 size and a 4/4 size. Due to the addition of a wood piece (neck raising) due to the neck specification change, the neck is slightly thicker. As the repair label indicates, it has been extensively and properly repaired in the past, including patch repairs for cracks and sound post patches. Also, the original was a so-called Baroque violin specification, and it has been changed to a modern specification by adding a wood piece to adjust the length and angle while leaving the original neck, instead of a grafted neck. You can enjoy the rich tone and sound unique to old violins, which are mature and have a good resonance while being gentle. How about this opportunity to get a genuine old violin?
