content: Very cleanly made, the violin bears nicely finished edge work throughout and carefully inlaid purfling of maple. The neck and top block are in one piece. Spruce linings are fitted into the instrument's corners without corner blocks. The violin is made of a table of two-piece spruce, two-piece back of maple with even, medium-fine descending figure, ribs of similar maple, an original neck, pegbox and scroll, and a stained black beech wood fingerboard.
