In fact, tis violin bears no label at all but it appears to be
a decently built instrument and crackfree as well. It is
obvious that this violin has been relaquered and the
older varnish (on some spots slightly craqueled) is
still visible possibly due to the reaction of the two
different laquers. A fingerboard with enough flesh,
ebony tuning pegs and chin rest makes it complete.
A nice picture taken in order to make a meticulous observation
of the wood quality possible. Medium to close grained.
A two piece back of figured maple as has been used for
the neck as well.
A former restorer possibly wanted to keep the original laquer
on this instrument so a new layer has been applied over the
worn spots. A fairly big shaped button to my belief.
Here the action can be studied on this violin. The bridge has been
cut quite fragile which can be the reason this instrument has a loud
and vibrant voice.
The head on this violin
A nice beginners instrument but after some investigations
no Maller violin as was stated by the company.
This label probably was cut out of an advertising brochure.
Most violin connaisseurs do not even tale a look at the label
when they investigate an instrument at first sight. As in the
violin world a lot of fake instruments keep popping up!
