Violin
Unsigned violin made with a two-piece spruce top, a two-piece maple back, and maple ribs, neck and scroll. It has three friction pegs (two of ebony and one of fruitwood?), and only one gut string remains attached to a French-style ebony tailpiece. There is a fine tuner for the E string at the tailpiece.
