Wonderful 3/4 Instrument

Small-handed adult violinist for 32 years here. I just finished an in-home trial of this specific violin and enjoyed the experience. It's beautiful and aged well, very well set up, and it appears and sounds nicely maintained and in no need of extra service. They held it from immediately shipping to reglue the fingerboard, and I appreciate the vigilance on that. The violin arrived set up with a Wittner Ultra fine tuner tailpiece. The sound was clear and louder than I expected from a 3/4. I compared it side by side with a Lamberti Master Series 3/4 which was just slightly fuller in its volume, and both had equal clarity and response with slightly different character in their sounds; this Laberte had more ringing and openness to high notes, and the Lamberti Masters was a little more throaty in the low registers. Nice vintage violin.
