Excellent-sounding French violin by J.T.L.

The J.T.L. ateliers in Mirecourt offered premium violin lines to the public in particular so they could have access to affordable but premium-quality instruments with very good musical properties. Correspondingly, many of the antique JTL violins available today have intense traces of use, and well- preserved examples such as this premium model JTL violin for sale, which is in perfect condition, are quite rare. This typical JTL violin bears an illegible label and was made around 1920; it was made following a broad model with a beautifully antiqued varnish and a flamed two-piece back. This old French violin is with a short, old table repair and despite some marks and traces of use on top visually appealing with its subtle and gentle arch, the luminous orange-brown antique varnish and its features. The warm and mature, resonand sound of this French violin is compelling and our luthier has made it ready to play and approved its condition. Including 30 days returns, our trade-in option and an optional certificate.
