The patina underlines the antique character of this individual French handmade violin. The instrument is crack-free and undamaged....
This French violin is an eccentrically shaped piece with a Limoges brand. The craftsmanship is simple and of rough quality. The top is made of medium grained spruce, the two piece back of finely flamed maple. The opaque red-brown varnish is reasonably successful. The patina underlines the antique character of this individual French handmade violin. The instrument is crack-free and undamaged. The sound is bright and ringing.
