19th century English violin, c.1880

It is rare to find all the desirable tonal qualities of a violin in a single, affordable instrument, which is why this unlabeled violin, probably English, built around 1880, is one of the rare achievements of violin making: warm and rich in overtones, carrying, individual, and nuanced, its sound integrates different colors and characters into a voice of harmonious complexity. This expressive model based on Amati articulates the highly individual signature of an experienced master who obviously worked in England and demonstrates his exquisite taste in every detail of the construction: The elegance of the edge work, the striking outline with extended corners, and the playful cut of the F-holes contrast charmingly with the powerful scroll, just as the regular grain of the spruce top corresponds to the rare beauty of the broad, soft, flowing flame of the two-piece back. The aesthetics of these fine tonewoods are completed by a dark reddish-brown varnish, whose outstanding transparency and radiance are rounded off by a beautiful antique patina. After thorough refurbishment in our workshop, this English violin is in excellent, ready-to-play condition with no significant repairs and will impress musicians with high standards with its individual, mature sound.
