J. THIBOUVILLE-LAMY VIOLIN 4/4 - BARNABETTI

was £1,300 now £1,000

The J. Thibouville-Lamy Barnabetti 4/4 violin is a beautiful master-built instrument honouring its stunning predecessor originally built in 1910 in JTL’s workshops in Mirecourt - the birthplace of French violin making.

German Trade Violin

was £1,995 now £1,750

Beautiful German Trade Violin, set up with Violino strings and boxwood fittings. Labelled Henrich Th. Heberlein jr. 1913. We don't think the label is correct as the date is wrong, but the style and build of the violin is in keeping with this maker. Fabulous sound.
