| An unusual violin from the Marc Laberte workshops in that it is a Sanctus Seraphin model, the violin also carries a Curtil label on the treble side, he was a maker in his own right and was known to buy in instruments from the Marc Laberte workshops. Back length is: 14.1/16 inches (35.7cm.) In excellent condition without damage or repairs, just some small varnish marks, a good quality violin at a very reasonable price. Set up with rosewood fittings, Pro Arte strings and supplied in a new lightweight case. This is a good instrument that has some character. Tone is very good, it has a sweet lyrical tone that is well balanced. Well worth considering and excellent value! |
