#9 VIOLON ALLEMAND KURT ARNO GUTTER, copie Stradivarius, Markneukirchen, 1925 usine

THE FINE PRINTS:

Shipping and Setup: The violin will be shipped in a vintage (non-functional) case or reinforced cardboard box to protect your instrument during the shipping process, We pack the bridge under the tailpiece to protect the violin from cracking the top plate in case of an impact during shipment. Normal impacts during shipment can cause the sound post to fall or move inside the violin, it is the buyers duty to adjust the sound post to its correct position in case it occurs. Be aware that a sound post missing or misplaced can change radically the quality of the sound of any violin. If you dont know how how to adjust it I suggest consulting a pro luthier for adjustments and setup for the best performance of your instrument in case it happens. I do not replace old violins sound posts and in many cases they are overdrew or out of specs regard to modern setup unless I receive a violin with no sound post at all.

We reserve the rights to choose the best carrier to ship your violin.

Photos: In the occasion the pictures are taken the violins are polished and cleaned and pro artificial lights will provide a more accurate view of the violins quality and problems as well, when you receive your violin, usually 1 month or more after they are pictured it may not be so shiny as the moment the pictures were taken, even because the polishing cleaner tend to fade naturally with time, Please consider the sun light as reference. Polishing and cleaning your violin is a good practice I advise you to adopt time by time to keep your violin in good stand, visually and sound wise, I suggest the Hill Varnish Cleaner that can be found in any violin shop of any size.

Happy bidding.
