Description
Here is an opportunity to own a very beautiful, rare, and fine 4/4 Honore Derazey violin. It is stunning in every way! The workmanship is top notch! The woods are gorgeous!The tone is deep, rich, vibrant, and even from lows to highs. It’s very responsive and easy to handle. It is very powerful and commanding. This violin would suit the most demanding professional player and perfect for a soloist or concert master. The tone of this violin will easily rank with the very best French and Italian instruments out there.
The condition is excellent for its age. All parts original. Measurements are: LOB: 363, UB: 170, MB: 118, LB: 213.
Ive had the violin for a number of years and have taken the best care of it. David Folland worked on the setup and it is adjusted to its full potential.
Peter Ratcliff made a dendro for it. The latest tree ring in it is from 1820 and matches wood used by Vuillaume and Chanot. It would likely be from 1830-1840. Rampal’s righthand man, Jonathan Marolle said it’s a very rare and pure example of Derazey. Rolland Terrier also confirmed Honore Derazey.
