Though the branding references a historic Cremonese master, this violin represents a quality workshop production model rather than an individual master-built instrument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProduced in the Markneukirchen region—often during the post-war East German (DDR) era—these violins were manufactured to a higher standard than typical student rentals and were marketed as premium or step-up fractional instruments. The Stradivarius-inspired design provides a balanced, clear tone with moderate projection, making it well-suited for advancing young players.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Otto Brückner line was frequently distributed through an established American importer in the name of United Musical Instruments (UMI), and it earned a reputation for consistent quality, reliable materials, and solid craftsmanship appropriate for private study and school ensemble use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur featured half-size violin was constructed in 2000 and is serial number 7127XX. It was constructed in Germany to exacting specifications recommended by teachers and professional players across the globe. This particular violin has some minor scratches across all parts; particularly along the rims where a shoulder-rest was used. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have retained the finger position tape for ease of learning to be used by the next student. Some backside surface scratches are also detectable. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur In-House Technician has adjusted the instrument for General Playing Conditions. The Half-Size violin comes with Original Hard-shell Case and a NEW Half-Size Violin Bow. Compare to new equivalent instruments and this violin is truly worth consideration. Act now before it’s gone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eInstrument Type: Violin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eBrand \/ Label: Otto Brückner (also spelled Brueckner)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eModel \/ Size: 1\/2 Size\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eSerial \/ Reference: SN40012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eIntended Player: Young students (approximately ages 8–10)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eBack Length: Approximately 310 mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eDesign Pattern: Stradivarius (Antonio Stradivari)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eTop Material: Solid spruce\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eBack \u0026amp; Ribs: Solid maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eFingerboard: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003ePegs: Ebony\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eCountry of Manufacture: Germany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eRegion: Markneukirchen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eEra: Mid-to-late 20th century (often post-war East Germany \/ DDR)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"\u003eClassification: Premium \/ Step-Up Student Instrument\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Includes hardshell case \u0026amp; bow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eModel# Model SN40012","brand":"Misc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59114718134353,"sku":"107709","price":329.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/8936\/5585\/files\/media_b760a1f9-e352-43a1-9864-3355b0d51cd1.jpg?v=1779937094","url":"https:\/\/www.musiciansbuy.com\/products\/used-otto-bruckner-ns40012-1-2-violin-with-case-and-bow","provider":"MusiciansBuy.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
