Markneukirchen Violin, c. 1880 – 1/2 Size | German Workshop Instrument
This 1/2-size violin, made around 1880 in Markneukirchen, Germany, is a rare and finely preserved example of 19th-century Saxon workshop craftsmanship in a fractional size. Markneukirchen was a key center of violin making during this era, known for producing well-built instruments that combined durability with musical quality.
This violin features a two-piece maple back with subtle flame, a tightly grained spruce top, and a rich, deep brown varnish over a golden ground—hallmarks of the region’s aesthetic style. Despite its small size, it offers a warm, focused tone with clear projection, making it a wonderful choice for young players seeking a historically rich and musically capable instrument.
A distinctive and collectible 19th-century German violin that brings both tonal warmth and Old World charm to the hands of a developing musician.
