William Henley's Dictionary of Violin and Bow Makers
states the following about the maker.
DEBLAYE, ALBERT JOSEPH. Born 1874 died 1929.
Worked at several Parisien ateliers and at Toulouse with Gautier, 1897-1900. Established at Mirecourt, 1900. Became technical director of the Deblaye and Meunier Amalgamation 1922. Workmanship of irreproachable finish. Designs immaculate in beauty of curvature. Harmonical perfection attained in the attuning of the plates, and by an ingenious arrangement of the bass-bar. Tonal quality of excellent homogenial sonority and brilliancy, well-appreciated by many of the French symphony orchestra players. Woods especially chosen for acoustical properties as well as for prettiness. Produced violas of similar qualifications.
A good quality Maggini copy, circa 1900. £475.00 stock no. WP207
From Bach Partita in D minor.

As with most Maggini copies it is a bit long in the body but it has a presence of tone to match! The back length is: 14.3/8 inches long (36.5 cm.) The condition is excellent, there are no repairs just some small varnish marks. This is a well made violin of good quality with the Maggini style double purfling. Set up with good quality rosewood fittings, Pro-Arte strings and supplied in a new lightweight case. With a deep and mysterious tone, a clear treble and loads of volume. Something a bit different!
