The violins unique character and premium quality distinguishes this Mirecourt violin from many of its sisters which hail from this workshop. The musical appreciation this good antique French violin has received can be seen by some traces of use, especially on the back, which is crafted of wonderfully flamed maple.

The aesthetic of this affordable French violin is as fascinating and enigmatic as its sound, powerful, rich in volume, mature and large, suitable for advanced players and beginners alike.
