Violin by Richard Duke c1770

I am delighted to be able to offer another geniune Richard Duke c1770.
 
Has a repair label, mostly illegible, however, appears to be dated 1881.
 
Lovely dark brown varnish with a tinge of red on an amber ground. 
 
Beautiful one-piece back with tight flame and matching ribs.
 
Restorations to front but not soundpost or bass  bar.  Historic repair to peg box appears firm.
 
Now in wonderful condition.
 
Set-up with ebony fittings, a professionally cut bridge and Evah Pirazzi strings.
 
Measurements suitable for the modern player.
 
LOB: 360mm
 
Suitable for a professional player - glorious tone with plenty more to give.  A delight to play.
