Ch. J. B. Collin-Mezin, Paris, 1893
 This is a particularly striking violin by the celebrated French maker and comes from his mature period. The figure of the maple is particularly attractive and highlighted by a transparent golden varnish. The tone of this violin is quite loud and penetrating in keeping with the maker’s reputation. The condition is very good and there are only a few minor cracks which have been well repaired. The Hill registration number “W512” is seen on the end of the fingerboard. |

A Ruggeri copy from one of Canada’s most promising young makers. It has a mellow tone and bears a convincingly antiqued varnish of pale orange shaded to yellow. It is a careful copy of a Ruggeri. www.hartleyviolins.com |
