‘Nicola Genari’ are high end French trade instruments of the Mirecourt school, probably by one of the iterations of the Labert workshop. These large workshops produced a range of instruments to suit varying player’s needs, the best being of impressively high quality.

This Stradivari inspired violin has a beautiful two-piece maple back plate with the figure descending from the centre joint; the sides and head of similarly attractive wood; the top plate of two pieces of straight grained spruce all covered in a light golden-brown varnish; the length of the body is 359mm.

A lovely French violin in fantastic condition which could be a perfect lifetime instrument for the advancing or advanced student.
