This fine Mittenwald German violin is a truly lovely antique instrument made by an experienced master from the Hornsteiner family, a wide-ranging dynasty of violin maker. The cornerstone characteristics of such instruments include premium-quality regional tone woods such as the kind seen here: the finely-grained spruce of the top and wide-flamed maple of the two-piece back. This instrument would be suitable for the advancing musician, chamber musician or tertiary level study.
