German 4/4 1900 Marenga Romanus Rinaldi Copy Violin

This full size violin for sale is a Marenga Romanus Rinaldi copy most likely made in a German factory c 1900.  The violin bears only a false Rinaldi label and 1898 written in pencil; the year 1898 could be the correct year of manufacture.  This Rinaldi Violin has nice wood and is well carved throughout; it has a nice golden brown varnish.  This instrument has a bright sound and projects well in an orchestra.  It has an insignifiant repair on the back corner and well as a couple minor repaired top cracks.
