It was made in Paris, France, in 1908.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe violin is labelled \"Ch. J. B. Collin-Mezin \/ Luthier \/ Grand Prix - Exposition Universelle 1900 \/ Paris\". The body measures 362mm along the back, 171mm across the upper bouts and 212mm across the lower bouts. It has a two-piece of well-flamed maple with a broad curl, and the scroll and ribs have been well selected to match. The top is a finely grained spruce of uneven growth which broadens towards the bouts. The violin has been finished with a gold-brown varnish and rosewood fittings, and it is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has a focused, even sound that is well balanced across the registers, and projects cleanly at a variety of dynamic levels. It is very capable of bringing out different characters and colours, and with a comfortable string height, it makes for a great instrument for virtuosic and chamber repertoire. It would be best suited to a violinist doing their tertiary study or playing professionally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease contact us if you would like to book an appointment to try this beautiful French violin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Sydney String Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67976166113432,"sku":"CSM-067","price":16000.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1567\/1449\/files\/15507961741464-41d83f0e98f7232665c7af90abaa28a21af662da.webp?v=1794441199","url":"https:\/\/www.violins.com.au\/products\/collin-mezin-violin-paris-france-1908","provider":"The Sydney String Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
