Baroque Violin by Richard Duke c1770
  • Baroque Violin by Richard Duke c1770

    Amazing opportunity to own a rare mostly unaltered baroque violin by Richard Duke c1770.

     

    It has its original bass bar, original neck with original top block with nail fixing.  A slightly small violin, but neck length etc all in proportion.

     

    Branded "Duke" on back,  twice.

     

     A two-piece back with charming flame, dark brown varnish.

     

    Chips to scroll and restored cracks to front (not soundpost).

     

    It has been set-up with a baroque style bridge and tailpiece, with Optima gut strings.

     

    It can also be set-up with a modern setting, plays beautifully, however, with the original short neck it may not be suitable for players with larger hands.

     

    Delightful full and rich tone with a lovely response.
