A fine quality violin by Chenantais & Le Lyonnais a very well respected maker who's instruments are becoming quite rare. In excellent condition, although there is evidence of an ancient repaired crack running down from the right hand F hole and another above, neither of these are very noticeable and do not affect the tone, or are they structural. Made from selected woods, set up with all ebony fittings, Larsen strings and supplied in a new case. The length of the back is 14.1/16 inches (35.7 cm.). This is a violin with a lovely warm classy tone, well balanced and with a quick response. A fine instrument for collector or player, highly recommended!
