For sale is a very fine French violin from the mid-19th century. The violin is of exceptionally good quality and has a beautiful fiery typical Parisian varnish with an old imitation, which was done from the beginning on paired with original signs of use over the almost 200 years of it´s age. The violin is made according to a typical Stradivari model with a flat arch.
There are some repairs on the top and ribs, including a crack in the area of?? The soundpost, which is repaired with a patch. The back button was broken and is repaired. All repairs are expertly repaired and of a good standard.
There are no open cracks on this instrument. The violin needs a new setup, I removed the old one to document the condition better on the pictures. What I can say is that the violin sounds absolutely grenade-like.It´s very powerful, sonor, but nice crystalline tone as well, it actually has everything a professional musician needs. This is not a student violin or an amateur instrument but a real concert instrument. Inside the violin is a label from Nicolas Vuillaume, I can't tell if the instrument is original or not, but the quality is consistent with violins by this maker.
The scroll is unfortunately a later addition and not original to the body. The body length is 36cm. This item is in the category "Musical Instruments & Gear\String\Orchestral\Violins".The seller is "violin-bows" and is located in this country: DE.
