This interesting antique violin stamped D Salsar is an early 19th century premium-quality violin from the French violin-making village Mirecourt. It was crafted around 1820 by an unknown maker and clearly spent a great deal of time in the hands of good musicians: traces of use on the top bear eloquent witness to the outstanding acoustic qualities which have shaped this instrument for over a century. Its warm, yet radiant and clear, dark sound features a mature character and is of beautiful strength. The attractive one-piece spruce top with its moderate grain and the flamed one-piece mapleback cut from the slab were handled by a talented craftsman; the typical French scroll is also a defining hallmark of this antique violin's remarkable character. We offer this outstanding instrument to aspiring amateurs and professional musicians in perfect condition, and like all Corilon instruments worked over by our luthiers, who made it ready to play.
