This is a lovely little fiddle. It is a Chinese made Max Jorge made for Potter's Music in Merstham, Surrey recently. We bought the violin and bow separately, so they are well-matched. The bow is a Werner and doesn't need rehairing; the winding is also in good condition. The violin has a good tone across all strings and good projection. It has a nice flame pattern on the back as well. There is no case. You are more than welcome to come to try it before purchase but I can't let you take it away. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
