A fine flat patterned 20th century violin probably made by the ER Schmidt workshop in very good condition.  Unlabeled, with influence of Stradivari and Ruggeri patterns, petite corners. It features a slab cut maple back. The tone is robust, open, with a medium focused timbre that is pleasing under the ear.
