German-made violin 4/4 WALTER MAHR #4 WALTER MAHR #4, made in 2000, 4/4 violin. This is a violin by WALTER MAHR, a workshop in Germany, sold by Shimokura Violin. Although the current grade notation is different, this is a high-grade #4. Even the lowest grade currently costs 1300 euros (230,000 yen), and the fifth grade from the bottom is 4200 euros (750,000 yen). Considering this violin is the fourth grade from the bottom, the current new retail price would likely be around 600,000 yen. In my subjective opinion, it has a clear sound and a large volume, and it resonates well. There are small scratches on the top plate caused by the adjusters, but it is in good condition without any major scratches or stains.
