Buy blow online in Mittenwald
Used by its only owner in high school ca. The instrument is strung, and the bridge and sound post are standing. The bridge is amazingly warped and needs to be replaced. The break does not go into the purfling. Includes bow, hard case, chin rest, shoulder rest, rosin, pitch pipe, mute. The case has a little crack in it but is clean, no odors. I am not finding much information on the VP model. If you know about its particulars, that would be very helpful. They are decent student instruments. Are you in a position to have the instrument checked out after purchase, before? How much is the instrument? If I buy it, I will make the new bridge myself. I have made a bridge for the fiddle that I discussed with you on a couple other threads. I think I have learned enough so that after I set it up with a new bridge and new strings I would be able to find most things that might be wrong with it. I thought I might ask for a two-week trial period from the seller so that if I don't like it, they will take it back, having gained the new bridge and new strings. I do see a lot of these - mostly stacked in school closets after being beat to death or the school's program cut. I am closer to the backwaters, so violins don't show up much at yard sales around here. As I say, it has had a single owner, and the only noticeable damage or cosmetic problem is a quarter-inch of edge broken off. And of course I would be buying it for me, not for you. Presumably you would be buying to rent or resell. Is that right? Thanks for the tip on the bridge height. I think I will ask the seller to measure that and the height of the fingerboard above the belly. Do you mean that the neck is set wrong from the start as some kind of optimization for students or that it sags over time? Also I'm not sure whether you are referring to school violins generically or to the maker and vintage that I am looking at. I have seen short squat bridges that make it very hard to clear the c-bout, the strange thing is that these can be decent violins with a correct bridge height. Yeah, I have seen way too many of these I am refering to the pfretzschners with bad neck angles from day one. Never could figure it out as it was obviously always that way and the instruments are very cleanly made. Forgot about the Seidels have low neck angles too, now that you mention it. One limitation is that I am in a city of 25K that I don't think has much interest in violin. At least I am not seeing used instruments for sale. I have to go a hundred miles for a city of a half million that seems to have more fiddles available. BTW you know from another thread that the low fingerboard in my old Saxon fiddle is one thing I am trying to get away from. Still there is some question on this thread whether the neck angles of these are low by design or just frequently by accident. What if I find that this Seidel has reasonable fingerboard height and bridge height? What else might likely be undesirable about it? I have a strong do-it-yourself streak, and while I am not much inclined to do anything to the neck, I would be willing to do other improvements on this Seidel if I wouldn't have to spend a fortune on tools. Is it maybe that they make some models with low neck angles on purpose and other models with standard neck angle, and you are not distinguishing between the different models? This may be a dumb question, and I have never looked at one, but remembering what Lyndon said on another thread about fingerboard height, could they have set a low bridge height by using a different fingerboard during shop adjustment? Perhaps its just a case of Monday morning work after a weekend of partying. There is no reason to set the neck so low consistently - what i see usually is a very high string height over the board in an attempt to make them work with out resetting the neck. I just see too many of them for it to be an accident, it is just incompetence. It is the first thing i look for whenever one of these comes in the door. The neck angle is designed to survive tumbling down a flight of stairs in a middle school. Very carefully calculated. These fiddles are tanks. Perfect for practicing beginning repair and set-up work on. You could even remove the top, which is typically about 5 mm thick, thin it a bit. Fit a new bass bar. Re-set the neck. Yes, I was thinking of something to practice working on and playing on, that I wouldn't feel too bad about if I ruined. Also that I could just learn on if I decided not to change it much, maybe in case the tools cost too much. What about the coating on the sound board? I guess maybe it is thick or tough somehow, as you can't see much grain through the finish. Would it improve the sound to change that? I don't know, but I doubt it would make much difference. Yes, I was unclear. I was thinking hideous to look at -- I've seen a few refinish jobs that would qualify. Usually, a boring look is better than a hideous look when it comes to resale. Depends on your market, of course. No, they definately didn't intend to make the neck angles low, and like Reese said, it's just poor quality control In contrast to Lyndon, I think if the neck angle is good on this one, you should get it. If it's bad, then get it cheap and as Ken said, practice repairwork on it, starting with a neck reset. The one thing to NOT touch, is the finish. I absolutely guarantee that you will make it worse. Those finishes are not meant to be retouched, or dealt with in any way Did Lyndon just say that??? Sorry to jab at you, just can't believe you of all people said it. I do agree with you though. I still think that this would be good for him, not all the ones I have had sound bad. If the neck angle is good on this one, they are basically Buicks in that they are indestructable sometimes sound that way too. I like them for rental stock when they sound ok because they go out for years, and years and are bulletproof. More of a utilitarian role though. Your post makes an impression on me. I know you aren't fond of the Chinese factory fiddles, and most people don't like the idea of a slave-built instrument, so I hesitate to ask how to choose one well. You are saying that a new Chinese violin would be better for sound. I think you may be saying that they are often or usually worse in other ways. I guess we are getting more awareness that they are optimized for toughness. I don't expect to give mine much rough treatment, so this fiddle begins to make less sense to me. Okay, I think that is the first compliment I've gotten on my old Saxon fiddle, except when I took it into the local music store. Thank you. To me it sounds great on the treble side, but not so good on the G string. The problems I know about are 1 the pegs are fit very badly--you could say they are not fit at all, so that for a couple of them I can see a 1 mm crescent of light through the holes. I have fine tuners on the tailpiece, so I can live with that problem. That leads to difficulty in selective bowing or trains me to be more precise in bowing, whichever you prefer. Number 3 is the most worrisome as I am told it will be much harder to fix after dirt and rosin get into the cracks. This fiddle has been in my family a long time. If there is literally a stopgap for the cracksespecially to keep dirt out of the cracks, I would feel better about taking my time finding a different instrument to play.

Glaesel Shop Adjustment, January Unflamed back. The top has a somewhat reddish finish that doesn't show much grain. Has never been in the repair shop. Good overall condition, clean, shiny, etc. The tuning pegs are original and without problems. It has four fine tuners. The seller seems honest. What should be the price for this outfit? Thanks for any help. I welcome any comments about the nature of this instrument. Please ask in case I am leaving anything out.
