DescriptionThis violin, constructed of wood and metal, is likely a copy of and/or made in the style of Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737), an Italian craftsman specializing in string instruments, notably violins, guitars, and cellos. The violin is deep brown and burgundy, while the instrument's case is black on the exterior with a keyhole on the lower right side and a latch on either side. The interior is forest green. The violin bow is the same deep brown color and is held on the top portion of the violin case.
