Violin by Mathias Heinicke, 1932 – Wildstein
This full-size violin was made in 1932 by Mathias Heinicke in Wildstein, a town located just 23 kilometers south of Markneukirchen—historically part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now in the Czech Republic. A student of the well-regarded E.R. Schmidt, Heinicke is known for his meticulous craftsmanship and finely tuned sense of tone, drawing from the rich violin-making traditions of the Saxon-Bohemian region.
The instrument bears its original label and is stamped by the maker, confirming its authenticity. Built with beautifully flamed maple and a finely carved spruce top, it features a warm, golden-brown varnish and elegant arching. Tonally, it offers a focused, resonant sound with strong projection and a clear upper register—ideal for serious students or professionals seeking a European violin with both character and pedigree.
A rare and well-documented example from a respected maker whose work bridges German and Bohemian traditions.
