This Josef Lorenz violin has an interior label reading Luby (Schönbach), Czechoslovakia. Fine grain runs lengthwise through its arched spruce top, bordered by dark purfling and paired f-shaped sound holes. The arched back and carved scroll carry the same glossy reddish-brown finish, with warmer amber tones along the body edges. The dark fingerboard, tailpiece, pegs, and chinrest provide a crisp contrast to the varnished wood. The group includes a Glasser bow, a fitted hard case with brown plush lining and accessory compartment, an Ideal violin pitch-pipe set, and Sarasate rosin. The bridge is present but is not set in playing position; the instrument will require setup. The violin measures approximately 23.75" long x 7.5" wide x 3.5" deep.
