French violin made in Mirecourt around 1900
This unmistakably old French Mirecourt violin with its attractively antique appearance was crafted in the 1900's in Mirecourt, the famous violin-making town in the Vosges Mountains. The same region also provided the beautiful tonewoods for the violin, which was patterned after a model by Antonio Stradivari. The dark orange-brown varnish shows many expressive traces of playing, and the deeply carved scroll is a characterful and high-quality piece of work in an unmistakably French style. Our violin makers have completely worked over this beautiful French “Stradivari violin,” which is offered in perfect condition, ready to play. Its warm, powerful sound is rich in overtones, balanced and resonant, a good example of the high tonal standards of French stringed instrument making.
