Violin
This violin is made of lightly-varnished maple, with a spruce soundboard. The tuning pegs, fingerboard and tailpiece appear to be of ebony. This instrument looks to be relatively modern, and the fine tuners on all four strings suggest that the instrument was used by an amateur, rather than a professional player.
