A gorgeous violin from the workshop of Pierre Gautie, made to the JB Vuillaume model and in wonderful condition.
LOB: 358mm
Gautie succeeded to the workshop of Charles Simonin who was JB Vuillaume’s favourite apprentice and ran one of the most prestigious workshops of his day. In this violin Gautie demonstrates all the best attributes of his illustrious predecessor; the quality of craftsmanship, high quality materials and wonderful varnish. The result is a violin that not only looks stunning but excels in sound quality. The flat arching heralds back to Stradivarius and gives the violin superb projection. It has a luscious tone which is both dark and brilliant, and has a gorgeous bouquet of overtones. It is precise and responsive, and has a ring that is like a Tibetan singing bowel that cascades into the distance. French violins of near 100 years of age in this quality and condition are few. An inspirational violin for anyone to play.

All the violins in my collection are regularly played to maintain them in peak condition and are ideal for use by a professional, serious amateur musician or a student looking to progress to a violin that will help them through their grades.
