Old Italian Violin with Rare Light-Yellow Varnish | MILANO

This old Italian violin is a characterful instrument, distinguished by its rare light-yellow varnish and striking bright white purfling, a combination that immediately sets it apart from typical antique violins. The workmanship is original, expressive, and full of personality, showcasing hand-cut edges, a gracefully aged top, and a richly worn back that reflects decades of musical life.

The scroll shows elegant, traditional carving with deep patina, while the body features clear, well-defined arching and lively wood grain. The violin has been professionally restored by an expert luthier and is fully set up and ready to play. Despite its age, it responds well and offers a warm, mature tonal character typical of older Italian craftsmanship.

A wonderful choice for players and collectors seeking an antique violin with individuality, authenticity, and a rich sound to match.
