corilon violins

Master violin from Southern Germany

This German master violin is a highly interesting, fine instrument, that was crafted in the 1920s and seems to be influenced by the Mittenwald school of violin making. The relatively flat design of the large model is reminiscent of classical instruments by Guarneri; the flawless craftsmanship and individual appearance may indicate that the violin was built in Munich. The beautiful, golden-yellow colored oleaginous varnish is quite milky but still transparent and bears many traces of use at the top and the ribs. These signs from playing underline that this instrument was a pleasure to play for its former owners, just as some skillfully executed repairs, that have no impact on the violin's sound properties. It was completely worked over by our experienced luthier and is offered ready to unfold its large and voluminous sound, with dark and mellow notes, nuanced and colorful.
