It carries no maker's label inside (the dignified silence of an instrument that prefers to let its voice do the introductions), but there are intriguing burn marks along the edge of the scroll for the historians among you to puzzle over. The scroll has been neatly scarfed, the old peg holes professionally bushed, and an ebony ring sits handsomely at the neck join. A craftsman's instrument, cared for by craftsmen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe tone, I should mention, is quite something. Powerful, brilliant, and unmistakably Italian in character. The flamed maple back catches the light like a struck match. Pick it up and you will understand why someone kept it close for three decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOrigin: Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eProvenance: from the estate of a professional musician, held in family ownership for 30 years, originally acquired in Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLabel: no internal label\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBody length: 35.6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBack: flamed maple, single piece, with rich golden-amber varnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTop: spruce, with finely cut f-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eScroll: hand-carved, neatly scarfed, with curious burn marks along the edge (a small mystery for the next owner)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePeg holes: old holes professionally bushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNeck join: ebony ring at the neck base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTone: powerful, brilliant, characterful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eTotal weight with case: approx. 6 kg\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eCondition: very good vintage condition, professionally maintained, ready to play\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003e📦 Free Insured International Shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis item includes free insured worldwide shipping.
