Hopf Marked 3/4 Size Violin

Late 19th - early 20th century, the one-piece back boldly marked HOPF below the neck heel and having an inlaid border around the periphery; newer tuning pegs; no-name bow and later hardshell case included.

Private Collection

Likely refinished and possibly a marriage between the top and the back; the top with old scratches and gouges; the back inlay with some losses; edge losses to top; plays well.
