    Description

    Outstanding sounding and beautifully preserved French violin  by Breton in Mirecourt circa 1830. It has an original Breton stamp and origin of violin was confirmed verbally by leading French expert Rampal.
    In a very good shape for it's age ,some old  repairs, one located near soundpost area, (see photos) All are very old professionally made  repairs, stable and there is not need of attention as well as they does not impact sound or playability.
    There are  signs of intense professional use, some small chips and dents on varnish here and there, but nothing really important for a violin of such age.
    Fantastic, quite dark Romantic sound and excellent  power and very good projection.Many shades of tonal colours, good articulation and also very good legato.  Ready to play, length of back - circa 36.1, good player, easy responding, made for player .
    Quite recent  setup and new strings, fully ready to play, no further investments by luthier needed.
    Serious offers are welcomed.
    We recently tested it in a big Symphony Hall and of course  it was able to fill that room easily. The sound itself is wonderful, very balanced and  with very good projection.
