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.
