The back of this violin is formed from two pieces of quarter-cut maple, marked by medium-wide flame, which slants downward from the center joint. The wood on the ribs and scroll is similar to that of the back. The grain of the two-piece spruce top is straight, narrow, and even.

The instrument is covered with a reddish-brown varnish, over a golden-brown ground. It is lightly antiqued and shaded by the maker. This instrument is in excellent, brand new condition.
