| The Thiery violins were made by a luthier by the name of Thierray who worked in Mirecourt and Paris, many of his workshop fiddles were just labelled Thiery a Paris as is the case with this one, some Thiery models were I believe also made by the J.T.L. workshops. Loosely based on a Strad/Guarnerius pattern they were well made violins, very plain but nice to play, this example has no repairs, just small varnish marks. The back length is: 14.1/8 inches (35.8 cm.). Set up with Pro-Arte strings, ebony fittings and supplied in a new case. A good smooth tone, well balanced and good volume. Very good value! |
