| A fine quality violin by Joseph Aubry In beautiful condition, with a lovely patina to the rich red/brown varnish over a pale ground. The length
of the back is 14 inches (35.6 cm.). Fitted with ebony fittings, Obligato strings
and supplied in a new lightweight case. Joseph Aubry violins are quite rare and very sought after, this example is of the Guarnerius model, note the quality of the sound holes, scroll and button which has the makers monogram imprinted. Joseph Aubry was considered to be one of the greatest French makers of this period. This is a lovely instrument to play with a quick response
and a clear vibrant sweet tone with a sonorous bass. A beautiful instrument for collector or player, highly recommended! |
