A fine & rare antique french "Virtuose" violin after J.B Vuillaume made by JTL circa 1900.A very fine antique french violin made in the JTL workshops circa 1900 in Mirecourt. The violin bears the "Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume" label and is from the "Virtuose" series, which was the highest and most expensive level of Thibouville-Lamy at the time, and are quite hard to find. The top is made of a single piece of spruce, and shows regular grain lines widening to the edges. The back is made of two parts of nicely flamed maple, the curl descending from the center joint. The ribs, neck and head are of the same wood, and original to the instrument. The head and ribs show a black chamfer, as often in the french school of the time. The soft varnish employed is of the best texture, of an orange-brown color on a golden ground, and is entirely original, with a nice patina. The violin is in an excellent condition, without any crack, just a varnish wear at the upper right of the top near the fingerboard, made by a bow.The violin has been entirely revised and set-up, including a rosewood tailpiece with bone fret, the matching endpin and chinrest, a Despiau bridge and Thomastik Dominant new strings set. The rosewood pegs are original to the instrument, and fits perfectlyThe violin is guaranteed 100% authentic.
