Probably some varnish is added in the edges of the back, but most of it is original.The exactly carved scroll is grafted.Full lined and blocked.The tone is outstanding, very subtile and mellow, with powerful basses and sweet but penetrating higher range, lots of overtones.The flat arched table gives it a very good projection.We can say, this is a rare instrument for a very good professional player.Measures: LoB 353 mm, W 201 mm, total 58 cm.Check out my other items!Shipping cost: North America 70 $, Asia and Australia 90 $, European Union 30 $, rest of Europe 50 $.Attention: This is a private sale without return and it's final.
