Hello, dear customer. You have here the possibility, to buy an old violin with label. On the pictures is to be seen, that it is an old and nice instrument. It is a full size violin (whole length: 591 mm, body: 356 mm, upper bouts: 163 mm; middle bouts: 112 mm; lower bouts: 202 mm) with label: Fait par Paul Blanchard a Lyon en 1898 N. 490 The violin is in a perfect condition, but there is one small repaired crack in the F-hole!!! Violins and bows described as 'certified' or 'attributed' include images of their certificates and are therefore considered to have a higher degree of documented certainty regarding maker, origin, and age than instruments described only as 'labelled' (violins) or 'stamped' (bows), for which we provide no guarantee of any kind
