This fine French violin by Lucien Greilsamer, a rare French maker, reflects the self-confident profile of a talented and highly experienced master. It was made around 1906 according to the French tradition and features a highly distinctive sense of individuality. The violins narrow silhouette and delicate, very wide beesting are marked by an eye-catching elegance. The blackened scroll is the stylish work of the well-trained and meticulous hand which also did the purfling with exceptional skill. With its pronounced arch table and gentle fluting, this fine master violin was crafted using the finest tone woods, which are both acoustically and aesthetically compelling. A highly patinated dark red oil varnish gives the top a fine historical look and accentuates the mild flaming of the two-piece maple back. The expert luthiers at our atelier have completely set up this fine French violin which is preserved crackfree. The violin shows itself to be the outstanding work of a master by virtue of its bright, sweet sound which combines clarity with brilliance and resonance.
