Recommended violin with a brilliant tone

The instrument is a very nice quality piece of work of 1940/1950, of German or of French origin. The violin bears a label of Luc Lagenau, Anvers, 1982 that we cannot verify at this time due to lack of information about this person. The violin is a French or German instrument of sound and well made with individual, elegant soundholes and full archings. The back is a one piece back of very attractive mildly flamed maple. The varnish is an oil varnish of a red-brown color, obviously the violin has been well played and the varnish shows signs of playing and retouches on top and on the back. The instrument is in perfect condition, has been overhauled by our luthier and is set up with a new bridge, soundpost and strings. Its bright, strong tone is clear, brilliant and mature, dominant, carrying and nicely resonant.
