Fine antique 3/4 violin, French, circa 1880 - suitable for soloists, young talents and competition

Young musicians of many generations have refined their violin playing with this excellent antique 3/4 violin - and according to this, the beautiful, orange-brown varnish bears many traces of use, that can tell a lot of fascinating stories. These minor flaws are typical for small-sized violins that feature extraordinary good sound qualities, as only players who love their instrument will play on it that often or play in the high registers at a young age. Nevertheless, they handled this fine 3/4 violin with great care, that was built in the French violin making town Mirecourt approx. 1880 and is preserved crack-free up to this day. Our experienced luthier completely worked it over, so we can offer it as an attractive antique instrument to today´s youn talents, in immediate playing condition. The flat Stradivari model was made of beautiful tonewoods from the Vosges mountains and features a very convincing sound, that is adult, mature and resonant, warm and with good volume, comfortably light in the upper ranges. A 3/4 violin fully suitable for competitions, delivered free of charge with a 30-day return policy and Corilon's trade-in guarantee.
