Gaspar Borchardt violin, 2000, Cremona, ITALY | Metzler Violins needsbridge 5 were written in 1796soulful, warm, full About the Instrument This violin has a lovely depth of sound and resonance, particularly in the lower register. The instrument has a rich reddish brown varnish over a wheat ground, bringing out the subtle fiddleback flames on its two piece back and up along the ribs. Its bright purfling has bee stings. This violin is splendidly antiqued. Interior label reads: Gaspar Borchardt fece in Cremona in Piazzo Duomo Anno 2000. Length: 356
