Due to another non paying bidder the violin is being relisted. Up for auction is a old vintage early 1900s Minnesota "American" made 2 pc. back full size violin for restoration. The nicely figured 2 pc curly maple back measures 14 1/8 by 8 inches. The violin is lined and has 4 corner blocks. There are no bassbar or soundpost cracks on the violin and the neck is solid. The scroll and the pegbox had been repaired at one time (please check pics). The pegs turn smoothly and the finge...rboard is in good condition. The soundpost is loose inside the violin and there are no open seams. The violin has a lot written in pencil on the inside back and here is what I can read "This violin was made by Emmanuel Lutck(?) at age 72 1938 & 1939 Grand Marais Minnesota Wood cut in 1923 North lake (this is what I could read. A lot more there). The violin is for restoration. The violin has age related scratches/wearmarks on the varnish (please check pics). The top of the violin will need repaired from the bottom to the top of the treble side F hole. The violin will need new strings etc (please check pics). Please check pics. and email questions. More pics. available upon request. This nice old vintage American made violin will need a lot of restoration to become playable. Please bid accordingly. Highest bidder wins. Low open with no reserve.
