Fine violin No. 2020 by Jean Striebig

In the 1950s, the later years of Jean Striebig's career as a violin maker, he used exquisite tone woods to create this violin which reflects his precision down to the slightest detail. It is crafted after his own highly sought-after model, and its defining features include a strong arch and extremely accurately carved soundholes, a Striebig hallmark. The delicate purfling along the strongly accentuated edges and the detailed lines of the scroll are also outstanding examples of the work done by this talented student of Mougenot. The even grain of the top and the deeply flamed back with their orange-brown varnish are radiant. The violin is marked as #2020 and has the original dated and numbered label and brandmark with Striebig's initials. After a complete restoration by our experienced luthier it unfolds its sophisticated sound in ready to play condition, full of character, bright, luminous, elegant and nuanced.
