Item Description
Here is a nice well made Antique Violin made by a Eugenio Cimino for your buying consideration.
Would make a great gift for a special occasion, or keep for yourself!
You do not find older violins like this very often.
The violin was probably made in the latter 1800s to early 1900s, could be a bit older than that.
The violin has a label in it that says, "Made by Eugenio Cimino". This violin is most likely of German or American country origination, not Italian.
A beautiful violin here.  This violin was done by a party whom seems to have been very talented.  No certificate of authenticity comes with this violin.
The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this violin.
Beautiful inlaid purfling on this violin.
The violin has a two piece soundboard and two piece back.  Nice darker golden brown stain on the of the entire violin.
Some minor finish loss and minor nicks over the years to the body of the violin.  Look at the pictures of the soundboard/belly very closely in zoom mode to see what we are describing. There is a hairline on the belly that runs from the top down to the top of the f hole.  Also, a hairline from the right side of the saddle to the bottom of the f hole.  Looks to have been repaired sometime in the past.  See pic.  We see no visible hairlines to the back of the violin.
The tuning pegs, tailpiece, and end peg are very well done on this violin.
The back of the violin is quite intact and just beautiful.  Some finish loss along the edges and on the back and on the lower part where laying against someone's shoulder.
Nice inlaid purfling on the front and back.  Beautiful f hole, and scroll work.  The corner blocks are in place.  The beaks look good.  The fingerboard has some finish loss, but no ridging that would impede string play.  Two of the four tuning pegs are in place.  Two older strings in place that will need replacing.  The soundboard and back are tightly glued to the sides, no separations to report.
The sound post is not in place.  The maple back's finish has a translucent look to it when you view it, nice tiger striping.  The purfling appears to all be in place.
The neck is securely attached to the body of the violin.  No repairs to the neck, tuner box or tuner peg holes.  No cracks or splits there.  The scroll on the end of the neck is very well done. The belly and back of the violin are still securely glued to the sides.  Beaks show some minor wear.  There is no sound post inside the violin, nor does one come with it.  Only two of the tuner pegs are in place.
The violin is 23.25" long, by 8-3/8" across at the lower bout and 6-7/8" across at the upper bout.  The violin body is 14-1/8" long.
No violin bow comes with this violin.
The violin is a nice looking hard case.  The case is made of wood and has a black finish to it.  The case was probably repainted at some juncture.  Shows some minor wear to the outside finish. Inside green material in fair to good condition. Latches work.
The violin will be securely wrapped in the case as well as on the outside to make sure it gets thru safely to you.  The strings, tuning pegs, and tailpiece will be removed to more safely ship the violin to you.  So, expect some reassembly.  The violin comes with a tailpiece and the end pin is in place as well.
This musical instrument is not represented to be in playing condition.  There will need to be refurbishing done to make this instrument playable again.
Let us know if you have any questions or need additional pictures.
