French violin from the Jules Grandjon workshop

A lovely, resonant French violin from the 1880s, this high-quality instrument was handcrafted in Mirecourt in the Jules Grandjon workshop and is highly distinctive. It is a very good and extremely carefully made string instrument that follows a personal interpretation of the model, with typical arch, delicate corners and finely rounded edges. The dark red-brown varnish with beautiful antiqueings is a testament to intensive playing and gives the large violin its special, noble character. With two solid but well visible table repairs teh violin is offered at a highly reduced price. Its sound is clear, mature, large and warm, dark and sweet in character, very well balanced across the registers and the four strings, ringing and rich in overtones in the upper ranges. Like all our string instruments and bows, it comes with free shipping, a 30-day money-back guarantee and an unlimited trade-in guarantee.
