Stradivarius - A single full-size stringed bowed instrument constructed in the standard pattern with arched top and back, twin f-holes, and traditional fittings including ebonized fingerboard, tailpiece, and four tuning pegs. The body displays a red-brown varnished finish over a lighter wood, with visible purfling outlining the top and back plates. The instrument lacks a chin rest.
Old hang tag notes "Century," "Half/three qu.," "Student," and partially legible references to "Cremonaths rectified hand," along with the phrase "Made in... Germany," suggesting, though not confirming, 20th-century German origin. No clear evidence of major cracks or open seams.
