A lovely warm violin with lots of character from a very sought after maker, these quality Collin-Mezin instruments are becoming increasingly difficult to find. In excellent condition without damage or repairs, just some small varnish re-touching. Made from selected woods, set up with rosewood and ebony fittings (the pegs are original), Dominant strings and supplied in a new case. The length of the one piece back is 14.1/8 inches (35.8 cm.). This has the lovely warm rich Collin-Mezin tone with good clarity and lots of volume. A fine instrument, recommended!
