Beautiful sounding violin! Looks more like 1800 by the worn corners.
Love the Brahms-Kreisler cadenza excerpt!

I do agree with your observations and it certainly feels like an older violin to me too. I am still to find a competent expert to evaluate it properly though, so I go with the general (facebook identification) consensus for the time being…

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made by a famous maker. Brilliant sounds

Metalic sound

The fingerboard wood is an interesting color.

[@thestigofviolin]

That’s because its not ebony. It came to me like this and I’m not sure why it’s previous owner had it set up this way…

@@thestigofviolin some people prefer other woods, to make things more interesting and colorful. I have a fretboard with sapwood going through it, and it looks great.
