Magnificent Richard Duke violin, probably made for Betts

Magnificent Richard Duke violin, probably made for Betts

Magnificent Richard Duke violin, probably made for Betts. Unlike Duke's normal dark brown varnish, this violin has a lovely deep amber/orange varnish reminiscent of Betts varnish.

 

Stamped Duke, London to the back below the button.

 

Has a repair label "Repaired by Dearlove, Leeds . . . ".

 

Original neck built-up for modern playing.

 

Beautifully carved head, similar in style to Del Gesu.

 

Two piece delightfully flamed maple back with matching ribs.

 

Fabulous condition.

 

Newly set-up with rosewood fittings, a profesionally cut bridge and Evah Pirazzi strings.

 

LOB: 354mm

 

Looking for a professional player or discerning amateur.

 

Terrific tone, more to come, could do with some playing-in. Easy to play, even across strings - it's just all there.
