It sounds so ... not french.
-
absolutely. no idea why...
-
absolutely, but Notre Dame was also as the Louvre or the Musée d'Orsay. Those 3 are very popular within Parisian, the Sainte Chapelle is not.
-
astonishingly visiting the Sainte Chapelle is not so popular within Parisian.
-
there are also a bunch of non-violin related stuff to visit in the city.
-
This one is supposedly from VISSENAIRE, Luthier in Lyon (France) in 1861.
-
it says : F. Breton (a name), patented deom S.M.G in Angouleme (a small city in France)

-
Dear experts, this supposedly 140 year old french violin is for sale on public auction. is it of any interest ? thanks in advance for your thought best
-
the bridge seems rather thick
-
it was not bought on ebay. I did not know the expression "a dog dinner" but this does not sound very positive ;-) My daughter played it before it was rehaired. The hair was in a poor shape.
-
Thank you Blanck Face. All this is very plausible. What is funny is that I kind of liked the fittings. Fititngs in good shape was a selling point.

Hi folks, I recently acquired a bow that I like. It's a bit early to be sure about the tonal quality since it arrived at home... today after rehairing. There is a label which is probably fake (I guess), but still worth noting : F.N. VOIRIN. The seller did not sell it as an authentic Voirin, just to make it clear. However, it's sold as a (good) pernambuco bow with high quaity fittings. I just took a few pictures of the bow. So any feedback would be very much appreciated. N.B : bow weighs exactly 60g
-
the seller : "Hi, "Français" here refers to Emile Français, who was a well known Parisian luthier in the middle part of 20th century. The violin is not French, more likely of German origin. And 18th century..."
-
It's not clearly stated.
-
The guy who sold the case (maybe he 's the maker too, not sure) is named Emile (first name) Francais (last name).
-
Hi again folks, here is a bow from supposedly Lothar Seifert. It does not look really nice to me. The wood quality seems pretty poor to me any opinion ?
-
thanks guys. I'll inform the owner who is truly believing that he had a (badly sounding) gem.
-
Hi guys, Here are a few pics. What do you think about this supposedly french violin ? FYI, I do not intend to buy it, this is just for education purposes. cheers
-
lots of good reason not to buy this bow
-
thanks, this is a very clear answer
-
any opinion of the restored (see the head) Prefretzschner
-
I guess that they are tons of suitable bows. As I mentioned, she does not feel confident enough to decide. I guess that it is related to the price. She does no want to make the wrong choice.
