notes: label: Description
content: This violin was made by Jacob Stainer of Absam, Austria in 1661. The violin has a replacement scroll (not original to Stainer) and baroque configuration of the tailpiece, bridge, neck and fingerboard (the neck is not mortised into the top block). There are various old cracks and repairs, general signs of use that are all somewhat typical of instruments of this vintage exposed to performance use and general wear.
