Old Vintage Antique 3/4 violin labeled Johan Georg Meisel, #1313
For sale is an antique, rich-sounding 3/4 sized violin labeled Johan Georg Meisel. Over the next few months I will be listing some restorable and repairable violins in my eBay store. Occasionally, as in this case, I will list one that is set up and in playing condition. I'm selling these because I must continue to downsize my operation.Workmanship on this violin is good. The body has a very old, individual presence...--for example the uncommonly narrow purfling, and the slightly rounded points. The label reads "Johan Georg Meisel / Violinmacher in Klingenthal." Violin is in very good condition for its age. No cracks. Some nicks and scratches but overall the varnish is in good shape. The button has been professionally repaired (see pic) and the joint presents no problems. A small (1/4" x 3/8") section of the neck has been cheeked (see pic). There is some edgewear to the top in the upper treble bout. The violin is set up and ready to play, although it will be shipped with the bridge down. Sound is rich and warm. Details: The two-piece maple back measures 13 1/4" long; overall length of the violin is 21 5/8." The back measures 7 5/8" at the widest point of the lower bout; 6 1/16" at the upper bout. The spruce top is narrow grained. Blocked in all four corners and fully lined. Neck joint, fingerboard, button and peg box are solid (see pics). A soundpost is standing inside. Inventory # 1313. Shipping via US postal service. Will ship worldwide. Please use eBay's shipping calculator. If you have a question please email me by clicking the link "contact seller."
