VenmoA Fine French Violin By F. Breton Brevete labeled c. 1900 de S.A.R.Me 4/4. Branded on the button Breton. Brand new: pegs, bridge, sound post, nut, tail piece, stings and end pin. This is ready to play. I will get back to you quickly if you have questions. Will ship in a brand new violin case. Brand new Pirastro Tonica Strings with Pirastro Gold Label E string.
There have been a couple of repairs to the top that have been professionally repaired so they wont be an issue in the future, see images. The pegs have been bushed. I can see that there are some scratches to the outside of the instrument that are almost always to be expected with an old instrument. The neck projection was exactly 27 mm giving the bridge a height of 34 mm ensuring that the string angle is correct and not low like one might see with many vintage instruments that gives this quite a lot of volume like modern instruments. The action at end of fingerboard is just over 5 mm for the G and 4 mm for the E.
Tonally it has a very boisterous sound throughout the register. The G string is a monster it is very, very powerful you can feel the violin resonating as you play it it is a very dramatic sound. It is silky in the upper reaches of the bottom strings. The greatest attribute of this violin is its distinctive well developed sound. This violin really has it. The sound is wonderful, being immediate in response, and very focused. The overtones are rich, brilliant, and simply stunning to listen to. You will not have to work hard to get the overtones to jump off this instrument. This is not a beginner violin this is for an expert level player.
Contact me to stop by and play it. I have many other violins and bows offered for sale at this time.
