Labelled Jon. Bapt. Schweitzer, circa 1880. £895.00 stock no. WP39
Sarabande in G minor by K.Bohm.
This is the first J.B.Schweitzer copy I have seen in more that 5 years! They have become very hard to find lately and although this is a copy of a violin originally made in 1813 is is nice instrument in its own right and is in very nice condition. Well made with a one piece back and even has the scratch line to indicate the grafted scroll of the original instrument. The length of the back is 14.3/16 inches long (36 cm.) Setup with rosewood fittings, Dominant strings and supplied in a new lightweight case. This violin has a smooth creamy tone with balance and quality! A collectors violin that is also nice to play!
