A good antique french Bertolini violin made by JTL circa 1900.Nice antique french violin made in the JTL (Jérôme Thibouville-Lamy) workshops circa 1900, "Nicolas Bertolini" model. The top is made of two parts of spruce and shows regular thin grain lines widening towards the edges. The back is made of a single piece of nicely flamed maple, the curl horizontal. The ribs, neck and head are of the same wood. The oil varnish, of excellent quality, is of an orange-brown color and entirely original. The work is very good, the purfling regular, the head very well carved, and the violin even kept its original rosewood pegs.The violin is in an excellent condition, with just a little crack at lower right f hole stopped by purfling, and a few scratches on the varnish. On the inside back can be found the original fire brand of the JTL workshops, "Nicolas Bertolini" with an anchor and the initials BN at the center. Bertolini violins are ALWAYS much better instruments than the Bertholini ones (with an "h"), made later in the first part of 20th century.The violin has been entirely revised and set-up, including a new rosewood tailpiece with ebony fret, a rosewood chinrest, a Despiau bridge and Thomastik Dominant new strings set.The sound is extraordinary, rich, mature and deep, projective and powerful, a fantastic french concert violin that you will love!Dimensions are the following :LOB : 362 mm.Upper bouts : 169 mm.Middle bouts : 115 mm.Lower bouts : 205 mm.The instrument comes with a new rectangular case. Insured shipping to EU $50 and US $90.Happy bidding !
