Description
For your consideration very fine 19 century french violin,Francois Caussin,circa 1880.Sold with appraisal by Mr. Rafael Carrabba of Carraba fine violins,INC.(Seattle) I do have a verbal conformation from mister Carraba that this violin was indeed made by Francois Caussin which is in a dictionary of the finest violin maker of the 19th century.However mister Carraba being cautious gave me an appraisal for 4500 dollars which confirmes that this is the "school of Francois Caussin" and since there is not such a school meaning that Francois Caussin did not have any pupils i can safely assume that the violin was made by himelf.The two piece back is quarter cut maple with fine grain, medium curl,slightly descending from the senter joint with ribs and scroll to match.The two piece table is spruce of very fine to medium grain in the flanks.Varnish is a brownish orange on a golden brown ground.The inside is a half a label printed "Francesco anno".I believe that it is a copy of Francesco Ruggeri .The measurements: Body length-356.5mm,Upper bout-164mm,Middle bout-108.5mm,Lower bout-202.5mm.The violin is just out of 2500 dollars restoration,is in great condition,new bassbar, new fingerboard, new pegs.Fitted with Thomastik Dominants and Westminster E.The sound of the violin is very sweet"italian singing" E string and rather dark D and G.Please feel free to ask me any questions.The violin will very well packed and insured.The sale is final,sorry, no refunds, no returns.I will ship worldwide.Thanks for looking and good luck bidding
