French violin stamped Sarasate. This antique violin was made in approximately 1920 by Laberte in Mirecourt. The tastefully crafted arching, the typical scroll and the wonderfully flamed maple of the two-piece back determine the elegant appearance of the violin, which is completed by a luminous orange-golden-brown varnish. Meaningful traces from playing and patination indicate this Laberte Sarasate violin has been well played. Crackfree, with a repaired back seam and well-preserved in general, this antique French violin has been completely worked over by the luthiers in our atelier and - like all stringed instruments and bows from us - it has been fully serviced and made ready to play. The sound is bright and clear, mature, with a sweet and dark note. Includes free worldwide shipping, a 30 day returns option and an optional certificate of value.
