Chinese 4/4 2009 Extra Fancy Abalone Inlay Violin

This Chinese violin for sale is fun to look at in addition to being fun to play.  This violin was made in 2009; however, the maker is unknown, and there is no label.  The violin is very unique.  There is abalone inlay on the ribs and in the extra fancy purfling.  This violin has a one-piece back made of highly flamed wood, a rarity in this level of instrument.  The varnish is an attractive yellow-brown.  The sound has a moderate quality, neither too bright nor too dark; this Chinese Abalone Violin has a full sound the carries well without sounding harsh.  As this violin is new, it should play in and the sound will improve with age.
