I sought out the original wooden violin on Ebay to stand in as Papa's violin in my Josefina collection. I got the wooden one because the chinrest is removable which is how historic violins were used. However I have to say I agree with the reviews above, I'm not all that impressed:
It's a cute enough prop, and nicely detailed (the bow has real fibers and the violin wires are actually wires). But in my opinion it seems to be easily damaged. It slips around easily because of how the doll has to hold it and although one time it basically bounced across the floor without damage, when I was taking this photo I dropped it a few inches on the table and dinged the finish. I'd already had to touch up some chips in the finish from the previous owner. Honestly if it wasn't for the attached chinrest I would have rather had the plastic version as it seems to be a lot sturdier.
I'd give this one a D.
