Made in Germany Modern German Paesold 4/4 Violin - Advanced Model The E-string adjuster has been upgraded to titanium, which is said to provide the best resonance. Upon listing, the entire instrument was cleaned and the bridge, sound post, fingerboard, etc. were adjusted at a violin workshop in Tokyo. The strings are Evah Pirazzi except for the E-string, but strings like Olive or Dominant also work well, so you may want to change them to your preference. The tone is bright and clear, and the responsiveness is very good, allowing for a depth that can handle delicate expressions with ease. There are some age-related scratches on the top plate, but the body's luster is good, and the instrument is in healthy condition. Both the tone and playability are very good. If kept in a good environment, the tone will undoubtedly mature further in the future. Adjusted in a Tokyo workshop in July 2025. If the bridge falls over during shipping, the buyer will be responsible for handling it. No returns or exchanges. Type: Violin
