Old French Derazey Shop 4/4 Violin For Repair. Antique One Piece Back

Description

One piece back. Old French 4/4 Violin. 360mm lob. I believe it’s probably from the 1870s, labeled “De la Fabrique de Derazey”. This is a better quality old instrument. The neck is in good shape with no cracks, the fingerboard is loose and a little off-center (it’s warped side ways a small bit from being loose so long). There is a very tight unrepaireded sound post crack on the back, and a two cracks on the top (sling edge from right f hole, above left f hole next to bass bar under fingerboard 2”). There are numerous open seams. The back has warped a bit from being separated from the ribs. The violin comes with a case and unmarked bow. The bow does not appear to have any cracks in the stick, but the frog has some old repairs to the slide and the button is cracked.
This is part of a collection I’ve had for years but will not have time to get finished soon, so here’s your chance!
