Antique Violin Labeled Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume

This violin is labeled "Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume" but we have our doubts about the authenticity. It does appear to be very old! The violin was in need of many repairs including some cracks in the top, as well as needing a new fingerboard, nut, pegs, bridge, and sound post.

With a fantastic setup thanks to Andrés, our master luthier, this instrument is ready for a new home. The sound is quite good, somewhat tame under the ear but projects well with a warm tone.

Why do we make these comparison videos?
We know that purchasing a string instrument is a big decision, and every instrument is unique. Since you might not live nearby, or be able to play the instrument (yet) we're here to play them for you and let you hear the ACTUAL instrument you will receive.
We make these videos for instruments at the Master level and higher, and request that it be used for serious inquiries only since they are very labor intensive. To have one made with some of the instruments you are considering, contact us: Email: [e-mail], or Phone: [phone].

It is sonorous at lower register without the harsh tone of the newly made violins.

It has a nice tone. Not all Vuillaume violins are created equal though: It was HE who invented the concept of kiln-drying to speed up the process, and there's a fair bit of difference between his kiln-dried and naturally dried instruments (in terms of tone AND value). He patterned his violins after Stradivari, and in fact destroyed quite a few original Strads in the process.
