Lyon Violin, 1931

The tone of this violin from the Lyon region is striking because of its impressive sonority. The tightly flamed maple and the finely grained top both contribute their part, as does the very evenly crafted arching. This instrument promises to be home to a broad range of sounds that demands to be discovered. It is gentle in the high registers and rich and full in the middle and low registers. The reddish-brown color of the varnish radiates something comfortable and inviting: the instrument is a joy to pick up.

This violin is excellent for students first switching to a 4/4 size and who have the curiosity to explore its tonal richness. This instrument is equally suitable for beginners.
