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
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.
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..."
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 ?
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
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.
