Description from the seller

This lot is a great opportunity to acquire an antique 4/4 F Breton Brevete Mirecourt violin with a beautiful one-piece back.
With its bright, sweet sound in the high range and deep sound on the bass, this antique French Breton violin, from the famous town of Mirecourt, renowned for violin making, is especially recommended for adult musicians who know how to shape and appreciate the instrument's tone. Built in 1890-1900 according to a proven model, this very well-preserved violin, crafted in an unknown workshop in Mirecourt, is both a typical and particularly valuable Mirecourt work. The beautiful clear varnish is of a rich red colour.
The Breton label is inside and “Breton” is stamped on the neck button. The violin is in very good condition.
The instrument has a length of 35,8 cm (4/4) and is in ready-to-play condition with a professional setup.
It is perfect in every part, without defects or breaks.
Just some signs of antiquity that give to the violin fascinating beauty.
New Thomastik Dominant strings mounted.
There is also an antique hard case for safe shipment.
