Violin for sale - Exceptional Reinhold Schnabl violin

There are no pictures available for this violin

I have proudly owned and played this lovely violin professionally for over 20 years.In the late 1980's my teacher,Beryl Kimber,purchased and played it when I took a break.When I returned to playing,I bought it back from her.
This is a genuine sale due to a career change on my part and I would like to see this instrument in the hands of someone who will play it in again and give it new life.
The tone is bright,full and unique..not for the faint-hearted,it has true carrying power.It has been judged utterly sound in structure and setup.There are some very minor scratches to the varnish here and there,but it still has a stunning glow and colour.
The inside label is signed and reads: Reinhold Schnabl Bubenreuth 1976.
A year ago the violin was unofficially valued by a respected luthier here in SA at around $10,000 and therefore I will only consider serious offers.
