A violin labelled “Sanctus Seraphin, Utinensis Fecit, Venitijs Ann. 17” has gone missing from the Elder Conservatorium of Music in Adelaide.
It has a one piece back, the sides and head are made from close-flamed maple. The top is made from fine to medium grained pine and it has very full arching. The instrument is covered with a light yellow-brown varnish and is in good condition.
Any information or leads which might help to locate this violin would be very much appreciated. Please contact Keith Crellin at keith.crellin@adelaide.edu.au
