| An interesting good quality violin made by Pailliot and branded inside on the back Pailliot à Paris, although he was known to have worked in Mirecourt he always branded as if from Paris. His violins were robustly made with a tone to match the construction. In very good condition, there has been two minor crack repairs to the lower left bout but otherwise just minor varnish blemishes and some discolouration to the wood on the back, these darker marks within the grain are often seen in maple from this period, it is usually caused by curing the wood on end rather than flat! The one piece back is 14.3/16 inches long (36 cm., The fittings are in rosewood including the chinrest, set up with Dominant strings and supplied in a new light weight case. This instrument has a lovely deep rich tone with good balance and lots of power. An early instrument of character, recommended! |
