content: This practice violin was made in Mittenwald, Germany by an unknown maker around 1910. Constructed to have very muted sound, this instrument was designed as a teaching tool for technique development. The solid S-shaped body is joined to a traditional violin neck, pegbox and scroll to achieve the vibrating string length of a normal violin. This violin is made of solid body of plain maple, neck, pegbox and scroll of mildly figured maple, and a shaded very opaque dark reddish varnish.
