Description

Folks, this is a great fiddle at a great price! An unlabeled Amati, most likely German made. It has a lovely, sweet-warm tone and good projection. We repaired some open seams, a top crack by the tailpiece, worked on the fingerboard and restrung her. It was missing one tuner and we found a suitable replacement, but it’s not a match for the others visually. The instrument plays easily and has a lot of dynamics in the tone. The instruments has a lot of character marks: worn finish, small nicks, dings and scratches and one spot on the back, by the tail, where some of the purfling is missing.

• Unlabeled Amati Copy, likely German in origin
• Solid spruce top
• One piece maple back
• Maple neck
• Ebony fingerboard
