The violin is well made with brown varnish over a golden ground, antiqued in the usual way seen in Saxon made instruments.

This is a serious violin in search of a serious player/performer!


The violin is rich and resonant in sound. This big sound I believe is enhanced by the long corpus body length of 360 mm. The G & D resonate as a large human voice, everything working together to produce the tone. The treble strings project nicely and add to the overall color of the violin. The treble strings were easy to progress up into positions on and has no lack of tonal power. A player will feel this instrument pumping, vibrating as they play. This instrument is for an intermediate player looking to get a violin with character.
