This Sacconi model features a one piece moderately flamed maple back with matching sides and neck. The top is evenly grained spruce with good arching. This violin produces a very clear and powerful sound. It is setup with Prim strings which lend to its clear focused voice. It was purchased pre 2013 but is still in really great condition showing only very small signs of wear. This consignment instrument comes with a case and 2 bows.
