Here for your examination is a gorgeous hand-made violin.
It bears the label of Alfredo Albini. Made in Naples (Napoli),
Italy (mid20th century...dated 1972). It is patternedafter a
violin by master Italian violinmaker Vincenzo Postiglione.
The label reads: Modelo Speciale nel modo di V. Postiglione...
which translates: \"Special Model in the mannerof V. Postiglione.
Itisan absolutely stunning, handmade violin with an old
Europeanbirdseye maple back (and sides). Its beautifully
carvedbody with itshigh arching likely accounts for that
beautiful,Italian sound...full ofwarmth and resonance.It has a stunning sound, rich and mature, resonant and
powerful.As always, I\'ve posted a video of this
instrument being played so that you can hear it.
This is a handsome violin with a gorgeous European birdseye
maple back andsides...nicely arched, with almost sensuously
carvedscrolls...the wonderful carving of the top withits
beautifully rolled edges is so typical of Italianviolins.
This is a beautiful violin with an almost operatic voice...
singing and lyrical in the treble end; deep and robust
in the lower end. A beautiful old violin with a mature sound.The best thing about this violin is the sound. Warm,
resonant and powerful; it has that wonderful,round
and mature sound that is what makesantique
Italian violins so sought after today.

Body measures 14-1/8\" long.
Lower bout is 7-3/4\" wide;
upper bout is 6-3/8\" wide.
Antique violins of this quality are becoming difficult to find. These
estate instruments are sold here on without reserve.
I believe this violin belongs in the hands of professional
or advanced violinist or a serious collector who wants
toadd a fine, old instrument to their collection.LABELED, DATED, INITIALED
