This Viola was made by well known Violin craftsman, Christian Gottfried Schonfelder who worked in Saxony, born 1736 and died 1785.
Appraised by the foremost Violin and Viola specialist of the20th Century; William H. Moennig, Jr.
He wasone of the most knowledgeable appraisers in the industry. Check the last photo and check the credentials.
He was recommended to me by Mark Feldman ( NYC Jazz Violin great)to me as the most knowledgeable in the business.
Buddy Spicher (Nashville great) played it and wanted to buy it immediately!
This is a one of a kind instrument that will only become more valuable with time.
A beautiful instrument withincredible tone.
For pick it up or pay for extra shipping insurance.
NOTE: Neck and body are detached not damaged. Attached dry forphotos.
All it needs is good luthier, to glue the neck andset it upthe way you want. The neck is true and you won\'t be disappointed with the tone.
Thanks for looking!
