Violin
This is a Russian school violin, constructed with typical rounded edges lacking overhang. It has a one-piece spruce top, a two-piece maple back, and maple ribs, neck and scroll. The four friction pegs are all different and only two strings remain (one silver wound, one gut) attached to a French-style ebony tailpiece.
