Didier Nicolas violin with a warm, rich, golden sound
Impressive antique violin by Didier Nicolas (1755–1833). This antique violin bearing his signature is an unmistakable instrument from French town of Mirecourt, the French "capital of violin making". It was crafted in the early-19th century shortly before his death arodun 1820-1830. Its personal style and signature immediately reveals a heritage from the hands of Didier Nicolas (L‘ainé [“the elder”]), as evidenced by the typical model and its original stamp and signature inside the body - and its very powerful sound — properties for which L‘ainé instruments are known and appreciated. The high violion quality can be seen in the one-piece back and the distinctive sound has well as the scroll, which is very French in nature. The bright, golden-orange varnish has an attractive light patina. This is a distinguished historic stringed instrument that is very responsive. It is in excellent, flawless and remarkable condition without any repairs or damage. The sound is exceptionally powerful and ideal for soloist performance; elegant and mature, it features a fluid resonance and great precision, full of character and balanced across all of the strings. The price includes a certificate from J.-J. Rampal, Paris. Free shipping, with a 30-day return policy.
