This attractive French violin by Pierre Claudot was made in Marseille in 1949. It was made as No. 15, a very elegant and mature high quality piece of work on an individual Stradivarius model - originally labeled and stamped. The top is made of medium grained spruce, the two piece back of especially attractive deeply flamed maple. A deep dark red color complements the mature appearance of this violin that features an enigmatic, dark and sweet sound of mature power and good strength. This Pierre Claudot master violin is completely crackfree, undamaged and perfectly preserved - like all instruments in our catalogue, set up by our luthiers and ready to play. Her powerful sound is both clear and warm, strong with a typical french, dark, clear nuttily note, well balanced over all ranges with no nasality. Special recommendation!
