This fiddle was assembled by Joe of Joe’s Fiddles. The front is a unique creamy biscuit color. The entire instrument was finished with a fine varnish made especially for violins from Italy. There is a tiny patch on the back of the scroll that for whatever reason didn’t take any stain (pictured). This violin is quite loud with a good sound. Not harsh. I left the action a bit high which gives the instrument a very clear, clean tone but makes it a bit more difficult to play. The price is for the violin only. I believe I have fairly priced this fiddle but feel free to make an offer.
