This beautiful violin with flamed one-piece back has been preserved in absolutely new condition since it was made in Bubenreuth, Germany in 1998.  Only higher-quality Rondo strings, bridge and tail-piece have been recently added to optimize the beauty, sound, and value of this violin.  Branded internally with the maker's brand-stamp and serial number.  Sold with a recent letter from the current firm of Ernst Heinrich Roth in Germany confirming the authenticity of this violin.
