School of Betts Violin, London c1810

School of Betts Violin, London c1810

Small English violin c1810 School of Betts.

Length of back only 355mm, but neck length (original neck/head), elevation etc are all in proportion.

Wonderful condition, just a small piece of wood missing from a corner on the back. No cracks or other restorations.

Based on a flat Strad model, front grain varies from tight on the right hand side to quite wide on the left. (However, still a two piece front).

Has plenty of original golden amber with touches of red.

Glorious burr one-piece back with matching ribs, neck & head. Also has an interesting wax seal to button.

Has "pips" to centre of scroll on right & left.

One-piece bottom rib.

Has a quality new set-up with old English boxwood pegs, other boxwood fittings with a professionally cut bridge.

Glorious tone with particularly deep/almost viola like tone to the lower stings.

 

Free case and shipping within UK.  Can be shipped elsewhere at cost.

SKU: NCV215
