Used Violins for Sale

Before purchasing violins for sale, it is good to know a little bit about the actual make up and construction of a violin.  This is a description of the parts of a violin and what they are made of, and how it affects sound quality.

Used Violins for Sale

A violin usually consists of spruce (the soundboard which is also known as the top plate, belly, or table), maple ribs and back, two endblocks, the neck, a soundpost, a bridge, four strings, and various fittings.  You may also find a chinrest, which may attach directly over, or just to the left of the tailpiece.

 A unique feature of a violin body is its "hourglass" shape and the arching of its top and back. This shape like an hourglass consists of two upper bouts, two lower bouts, and two concave C-bouts at the "waist," providing clearance for the bow.

The quality of the sound from a violin depends on its shape, the type of wood it is made from, the graduation (the thickness profile) of both the top and back, and the varnish that covers its outside surface. The varnish and especially the wood will improve with age, making the fixed supply of old violins collectibles, or vintage, and much sought-after.
 
All of the parts of the violin that are glued together are done so using animal hide glue.  This is a traditional, strong water-based adhesive that is reversible, as glued joints should be able to be disassembled if necessary. Weaker, diluted adhesive is often used to fasten the top to the ribs, and the nut to the fingerboard, since common repairs involve disassembling these parts of the violin.  When searching for violins for sale online, all of these aspects should be considered before making a purchase.
