Full size violin (Jacobus Stainer model, labelled 1681, of German Origin 1870 - 1880)

Full size violin of German origin circa 1870 - 1880.  'Jacobus Stainer' model labelled 'Jacobus Stainer in Absam prope Oenipontum 1618'.

I had the violin valued in 2000 by Unison Strings (Birmingham) and the comment made was "This instrument is a good representation of the quality of workmanship attained at its best in a small workshop environment at the end of the 1870s.  It is a faithful copy and presents no faults of structure or repairs of any kind".  

Violin valued at £500 in year 2000.  Taking into consideration inflation, bow and case, selling at £650 (offers will be considered).  Original copy of valuation letter held and can easily be provided.

I'm sad to say goodbye to my violin but I no longer play so time for somebody else to enjoy this violin.
