For sale is this 3/4 upright from right around 1900.
That is to say the body dates from that time. The original neck was broken. The neck and fingerboard that is on now was made by Arnold Schnitzer in 1998. He also put a new bridge on it.
Other details:
Carved top
Flat back
C-extension
B-band pickup
String length is about 41 3/8"
Body width is about 8 1/2"
And it includes a relatively new Bobelock case
I just got it back from Mike Egan of Egan Strings. He made sure all the cracks were glued and not an issue, set it up and put a brand new set of Helicore Hybrid Mediums. He also went over the edges to make sure they were healthy. Action is fairly low. It plays easy.
This is a really beautiful sounding instrument. I've done all sorts of gigs with it - jazz, rock, classical. It is ready to go. Please feel free to ask questions about it.
Asking $8000
You can hear it on my Soundcloud - all the tracks except 'Catch a Star':
