A master quality Romanian violin with precision craftsmanship that maximizes the tonal properties of the fine-grain spruce and boldly-figured maple.  Robust tone with lots of color and complexity.  Wonderfully brilliant E string, balanced and resonant across all registers, with strength all the way up the G string.  A beautiful performance-level violin.  Medium-gloss, orange-brown varnish.  Ebony Parisian eye pegs and endbutton,
