Made in the late 19thor very early 20th century (circa
1890-1920),it is patternedafter a Stradivarius made by

Jerome Thibouville-Lamy in Miracourt (Paris), France.

Itisabeautiful antique oldhandmade violin, with its beautifully
carved scroll...a hallmarkof the better Parisian,

Mirecourtmakers. This violin has a superb voice...suitable for

an adult withsmaller hands or for a talented young violinist.

It has a stunning sound, rich and mature, resonant

and surprisingly powerful. I\'ve posted a video

of this instrument being played so that you can hear it.

ABOUT THE SOUND SAMPLE:
This is a video clip of the actual violin being sold in this sale


This is an exceptional small violin with an almost operatic voice...

singing and lyrical in the treble end; deep and robust

in the lower end. A beautiful old violin with a mature sound.

It has the power that you\'d expect in a larger instrument.

Its both warm, resonant and powerful; it has that wonderful, round

and mature sound that is what makes antique

French violins so sought after today.

MEASUREMENTS:

~ 3/4 VIOLIN ~

Overall length is 21-7/8\" long.

Body measures 13-1/4\" long.

Lower bout is 7-3/4\" wide;

upper bout is 5-3/4\" wide

I believe this violin belongs in the hands of advanced young violinist

or a serious collector who wants to add a fine, old instrument to

their collection. It has its original varnish...beautiful with

a patina that only father-time can create.

LABELS

It bears an old Stradivarius label that is seen through the

treble side sound hole, as well as a small J.T.L tag on the

bass side. JTL is the well known French violinmaker

Jerome Thibouville-Lamy of Mirecourt, France.

CONDITION REPORT:

There are no sound post cracks. There are no splits or cracks

to the neck or or the peg box, and no open seams. There

is an old restoration... solidly repaired cracks on either side

of the tailpiece and some varnish touch ups. But it is

structurally sound and quite a handsome instrument. Sold

as is. You can tell from the video, that it has a nice sound.

There are the usual signs of wear from years of play...the

normal dings,edge wear, and wear to the varnish...the

type of wear patterns that I personally love to see in

an old violin. This not only adds adds character with

its beautiful century old patina, but validates its age.

It has a new set of dominant strings, new ebony pegs, 


and a new ebony chin rest and tailpiece.


Its a beautiful instrument and is completely reconditioned and ready to play.

Included is a heavy duty case and carbon bow.

Please ask any questions prior to offerding, there are no returns.
