REVIEW VIDEOS
Made in 1872, this beautiful violin is a stunning display of American workmanship from violin maker Asa W. White. The elongated body and distinctly angled f-holes allow for a wonderfully rich tone that is both focused and resonant while the double purfling and deep red-orange varnish give the violin a truly unique appearance. Perfect for the professional violinist and collector alike.
