For sale is a very nice and interesting viola labeled "Jean Chauvet luthier a Paris 1946". I have been playing the instrument for the last 8 years and it has served me very well. I am sad to be parting with it! The back is of two pieces of quarter cut maple measuring 40.3 cm. The head is of a high narrow flamed quarter cut maple. The top in two pieces of spruce of medium width grain. The varnish of a red brown color. There is just some varnish wear and retouching, and a very minor and common wing crack forming (last photo). Otherwise, nothing else to report.
The instrument is very responsive and easy to play with a very sweet tone. I will ship the instrument in a Pedi case, which is in good condition except for a broken handle.
