| An good quality well made violin, possibly Laberte Humbert workshops. Neat and tidy workmanship and with good attention to detail. Note the fine figure to the maple used in the back, neck and ribs. The back length is: 14.1/8(35.8 cm.) The condition is excellent, no damage or repairs, just very minor varnish marks. Set up with rosewood and ebony fittings, Pro-Arte strings and supplied in a new case. A violin with a lovely warm and clear tone, good projection and ample volume. Very good value! |
