This unique violin by English violin maker Dominique Vlummens, bearing the original dated label, was made in London in 1925. The workmanship and the materials of this interesting English violin are of premium quality: the violin top is made of medium-grained spruce, the two-piece back of deeply flamed maple - typcial woods used in English violin making. With characteristic corners, narrow soundholes and protrudingly wide bouts this violin has a highly individual shape. Especially noteworthy is the hidden beauty of the thinly applied varnish with regard to its high transparency, luminescence and its marvelous patina. In spite of its age this crackfree violin remains perfectly preserved. Her sound is of quality and unique character: bright, warm, strong, silvery and with a delightful noblesse. This violin has a special character sound of colors and beautul roundness. Like all violins from us, luthier-set up and ready to play.
