This violin came to us in a very bad condition. The signs on it show clearly that it was played in the worst conditions you can imagine. The top has no varnish. The inside parts are glued and nailed in an unprofessional way. We believe it might have been played in a camp or ghetto and was repaired in any way possible, just to give the owner a bit more time to play… We decided to leave it as is, so people can see how some of the instruments look like when we get them, and maybe, by seeing it, imagine what some of these instruments and their owners had to go through.
