Old 18th/19th Century Violin From Salzburg, Austria
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:49045186 | Country/Region of Manufacture: Austria |
Hi, for sale is an old violin which bears a label saying it is made by Marcel Pichler, in Salzburg, 1699. This Pichler label is *wrong*, but I have spoken to people in the field of violin sales & lutherie, and many have pointed out the front is distinct in its making and can be dated to approx. 1750-1830- it is still from Salzburg regardless of the label.
The length of back is 354mm.
The tailpiece is also from the early 19th century and so I have kept it on this instrumen...t. The violin has had various repairs in its life, all the cracks are closed and there are no open seams.
The treble side of the belly arching is higher from age but the violin is in playing condition. The bottom rib interestingly is in 1pc and hasn't been cut down like you see on many other old violins. I think the scroll is likely from late 19th century. I'm not sure how old the bridge is. The violin has been given dominant strings and a modern Hill style e-string adjuster. High quality fingerboard and nut made of ebony.
Please look at the photos, I have included standard shots and other perspectives too. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know, I am happy to provide any more information and pictures.
I can send anywhere in the world, and I have good experience packing instruments safely. My shipping quotes are accurate, however if your address falls outside any of the ebay categories I will have to amend the cost in your invoice.
Bidding starts at 99p. Thank you!
