Associate of Joseph Hill, London c1780

Glorious antique English violin made by an associate of Joseph Hill, London c1780.

Comes with a letter of opinion from John Dilworth dated May 2025.

The most amazing back, distinctive fan shaped rising figure - glorious.

Professionally replaced new neck with ebony crown, replacement top block - all done to a high standard.

Cheeked, again to a lovely standard.

Inked purfling, well done.

Pin pricks still visible on scroll.

Lovely pale gold tint to varnish.

Restorations to front, including historic sound post patch - all firm.

Newly set-up with professionally cut bridge, ebony fittings and Pro Arte strings.

Could easily be converted to a baroque set-up.

LOB: only 351/352mm

A delight to play.
