Hello, dear customer.
Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this violin has been meticulously cared for and restored to its original beauty, making it a true masterpiece.
When our expert luthiers restored this beautiful violin, they discovered this fascinating inscription on the inside. The inscription reads "Anton Raab / Instrumentenmacher / Schönbach Marktplatz / b Eger Böhmen / 1883":
It reveals the violin's rich history and provenance. Crafted by the German violin maker Anton Raab in Schönbach, near Eger (now Cheb) in Bohemia, this instrument is a testament to the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail of its creator. The "bei Eger" notation on the inscription indicates that the violin was made in a region that was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire at the time, and which is now located in the Czech Republic.
Whether you're a professional musician, or a serious collector, looking for an exceptional violin to play, this instrument is a rare find that will surely impress. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of history and enjoy its exquisite sound.
