This good French violin was made in the Laberte workshops in Mirecourt around 1940. This beautiful violin has a striking outline, distinctive soundhole and a transparent yet luminous golden-orange varnish, all marked by the style of the most prominent figures in French violin making that was prevalent in the mid 19th century. 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 minor traces of use, some on the back, which is crafted of wonderfully flamed maple. The violin was meticulously worked over by our luthier and is offered crackfree, ready to play. 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.
