4/4 Violin with soft case! The back has a distinctive wood grain! The manufacturer is German? I'm not sure. The stamp (engraving) says "paul," so I think it's probably German. There is no label, so it's a no-label You can consider it a no-brand violin with an unknown maker. *I'm sorry, I don't know much about violins. The wood grain is tight and the construction is solid. There are scratches, but no glue separation. The pegs are a little stiff. The body is light and easy to handle. The tone is also bright. Changing the bridge, pegs, and tailpiece might make the sound even more beautiful.
