An antique French violin, built around 1850 by an unknown maker in Mirecourt. This 19th-century French violin demonstrates that even violins from this renowned French violin-making town without a specific maker’s name met high standards of quality, as evidenced by both its visual appearance and its excellent musical qualities. A gentle patina adorns the burgundy-red varnish, which has darkened over time; slightly flared corners emphasize the model’s individuality. This antique French violin is in excellent playing condition, having been restored by our luthier without any repairs, and features a well-defined, mature, bright and sweet tone with interesting timbres. Best suited for male players with a strong bow stroke. Shipped free of charge, with a 30-day return policy and Corilon’s trade-in guarantee, plus an optional certificate of value.
