No Label 4/4 French, circa 1920 Total Length: 60cm, Body Length: 366mm, String Length: 326mm There are no issues that would hinder playing, such as a sunken neck, peeling, cracks, unusual sounds, or problems around the sound post. The most noticeable damage is a dent on both the front and back edges where the chin rest hardware has dug in. Other age-related scratches are scattered throughout, but including the aforementioned damage, there are no issues that would cause problems during playing, and it can be played normally in its current condition. It responds well and has good volume. The string length has been adjusted to a standard 4/4 size by adjusting the bridge and sound post position, as the string length becomes longer when aligned with the f-holes. Although there is no label, the large body, distinctive corner treatment, and well-figured wood suggest it was a semi-handmade mass-produced instrument made primarily in Mirecourt, France, in the early 1900s. I also own cellos and violins with labels from the same period, and they are all very similar. I am selling this to organize my collection. The sale includes the instrument only; please consider the case as a bonus for transport. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to UNHCR. Please agree to the transaction in its current condition beforehand. Additional Information: The strings are new Warchal Brilliant (E string is Pirastro).
