Excellent French violin probably by Grandjon 1820, Video!

This violin was made in c1820 in Mirecourt , France most probably by Prosper Gérard Grandjon (Grandjon peré) , who was very prolific maker in Mirecourt and only rarely labeled or stamped his violins with his name, putting quite often apocryphal labels. One of known French experts verbally confirmed it as unmistakably French Mirecourt instrument made not later than 1820, very much in Prosper Gérard Grandjon style, probably from his earliest years.

In an very good state of preservation for it's age - some old small cracks on lowest parts of table and back being professionally repaired long time ago , no issues on important soundpost and bass bar areas, some signs of regular professional use through centuries (see photos).

This violin has a very clear & refined tone with outstanding resonance.It has superb projection & a fast response time.

It features a very well-balanced sound between the high & low registers.

This instrument would be suitable for  professional soloists as well as for better orchestra/chamber musicians. Good player, easy to hold, very responding, made for player . LOB 360mm

New setup and new strings, fully ready to play, no further investments by luthier needed.

Serious offers are welcomed.

We recently tested it in a big Symphony Hall and of course  it was able to fill that room easily.
