Violin

Description

Hello I have a beautiful violin for sale for basically half of what it is worth.
I purchased the violin for ,000 in the heart of Portland Oregon at a high end violin store called David kurs violins. I have owed the violin for for 10 years and have recently been told the violin has increased in value. The shop I purchased it from appraised it at ,500 - ,500 due to its age, condition and history.
A little info the shop provided me with is that the maker goes by the name Albert Willi Martin and he was featured in the national history book of violin makers. A short summery of him follows:
Albert Willi Martin was a German violin maker who worked closely with Ernst Kessler, Karel van Demmer & georg winterling. He eventually made his way to Kansas and opened his own shop he dies in 1978 meaning my violin is amongst some of his last work.
I am selling the violin because it was something that was I was required to play and practice as a child. I did enjoy however most of the joy has been lost due to this. The violin makes a beautiful sound and needs to be played by someone who will take good care of it. Every violin teacher and symphony co players that I have meet have fallen in love with this instrument. The reason I am selling so cheap is because I am ready to let go of it and take up the guitar and cello as I have wanted to since I was a young kid. I am sad to see it go but I feel selfish holding onto it when I no longer play or have interest in playing.
I also have a Marco Raposo Bow that I purchased for 700 dollars and will includ in the purchase.
Other extras if needed 2 chin pieces, 2 shoulder rest, Rosen, pink hard fiberglass case for tracking with humidifier. Extra strings.
Please contact me for more information or discussion of options I am flexible.
Thanks,
-Hayley
