⭕ Until just recently, the Arey Violin in this sale was hidden away, waiting to be discovered. On the inside is the original paper label, which dates this violin from 1855. The makers initials are also at the top of the book-matched maple back. It is going to be easy to describe the condition of this 4/4 violin. It is in perfect, original condition with no repairs and it retains its original finish. This high quality American Violin measures 25 ½ long with a 10 ½ long fingerboard. The bottom bout is 8 ¼ wide and the top bout is 6 5/8 wide. The back, sides and neck are constructed from figured maple and the ebony tuning keys are original.
I realize buying a Musical Instrument, like this mid-19th century Violin, without holding it in your hands, is very difficult and I am not a musical instrument dealer, nor do I play. Thats why I give a 100% unconditional money back guarantee that the high bidder will be more than satisfied with this violins sound, quality, condition, rarity and my description or I will return their money, plus shipping.
Included in the sale is the original Bow. It measures 28 7/8 long and has an Ivory nut at the end. The Mother of Pearl strip is missing from the frog and this bow will need to be re-haired. I guarantee that this bow is also perfect. The mid-19th century case is the original case and retains its milk painted surface.
