Lot 305: A 20th-century full-size student violin in a hard-shell case
A full-size violin, of 20th-century European manufacture and consistent with student or intermediate workshop production. The instrument is constructed with a spruce table and likely a maple back and ribs, featuring a traditional two-piece back. It is finished in a warm reddish-brown varnish with a subtle sunburst effect. The violin is fitted with a hardwood fingerboard and a tailpiece equipped with four integral fine tuners. A wooden chin rest is attached. No legible internal label is visible through the f-holes, though a paper label is present. The instrument is housed in a modern hard-shell carrying case with a blue plush-lined interior and a zipper closure. The case bears an orange inventory sticker marked 305. No bow is included with this lot.
