Inlaid violin -- Nice, nice nice ---

(use your mouse over the images to enlarge them)

You hardly ever see a roped-edge violin that actually has all the rope intact. This one is great. There is inlay on the back in an intricate design, as well as an inlaid tailpiece and fingerboard.

Historical Note: This came in a JW Pepper case, which seems to be its original case. A catalog from Pepper (Chicago, IL, circa 1900) shows the same design under "Violins - Fancy" and refers to it as a pearl inlaid back. These originally sold for around $8!

When we set this up, we experimented with strings and found that Dominants really bring out the sound. This is NOT one of those boxy-sounding inlaid instruments you're used to hearing. This one will be a dream to play.

Price: $2193
