English violin from around 1780, an exquisite and powerful instrument for high demands, light in the hand, with a large, warm sound that is radiantly clear in the high registers.

Fine violin – high-quality English master violin from the 18th century with an urban character, in excellent condition that is rarely found.

With its individual model, strikingly beautiful, high-quality tonewoods and fine details such as the characterful carving of the scroll, this antique English violin reveals at first glance that it is a work of first-class craftsmanship – a musical personality with an urban character, from the London of George Frideric Handel's time. As it is preserved in a completely crack-free condition, which is rare for instruments of such age, its musical qualities bear eloquent testimony to its origin from the hands of a talented master: very light in the hand, this professional violin effortlessly reveals its powerful, big sound, whose rich volume comes to the fore with warmth and precision in the lower registers, unfolding its full radiance in the higher registers. We deliver this typical English violin inspected, checked and ready to play by our violin makers, with free worldwide shipping and a 30-day return policy.
