Violin by David Mawhinney, Co Antrim (OV24097)

This violin was made in Co Antrim, Northern Ireland circa 1980. It features a very attractive one piece, highly flamed maple back.  It is finished in an blonde-amber oil varnish and labelled with the maker’s name internally.  There is a second label inside (not visible in the photographs) which may suggest it was either finished or repaired by Peter Boardman from Co Down. (There is a repaired crack to the front which is stable).

It has a warm and resonant tone with good volume.  Suitable for an advancing classical student or Irish/Scottish Traditional Fiddler.

It is set up with a Wittner tailpiece and Evah Pirazzi strings.  A lovely violin at a bargain price.

Comes supplied in a new lightweight case.
