4/4 Violin by Franz Kinberg. Genuine 4/4 Full Size Violin made in Chicago 1964 by American luthier Franz Kinberg. Signed and certified by the maker. First-rate workmanship and tonal quality. In excellent condition. By the time my father had purchased the Kinberg in 1964, he had already been a professional violinist for over 40 years! With the Kinberg violin he continued working with many orchestras and ensembles with Mischa Mischakoff, Georg Solti, Leonard Bernstein, Carlo Maria Giulini, Seiji Ozawa, Bruno Bartoletti, Walter Hendl, Irwin Hoffman and many more...This fiddle has traveled and worked, which explains the slightly worn varnish on one small area. My father was a good friend of Franz Kinberg and used to try his violins for him at his shop in Chicago. When Kinberg made this particular violin he told my dad that he considered it his best work. Several luthiers have appraised the violin at an even higher price than what we are asking.
